August Strindberg (1849-1912) is Sweden’s most celebrated author and playwright. His works—Miss Julie and The Ghost Sonata among them—are classics of modern theater, both for their deeply defined characters and their revolutionary exploration of psychological and social themes. A true innovator, Strindberg 'set the stage' for the generations of actors and dramatists that followed him. This year, the 100th anniversary of Strindberg’s death will be commemorated by events in Sweden and around the world.
