it was amazing

It's amazing that although Strindberg wrote this play in 1887, it could've been easily written yesterday. and probably it'd have been classified as a "masculist" literature!the picture of man slaving to remain his senses, his honour, his influence and the free will touches very deeply by its descriptiveness and accuracy. the struggle of sexes has never been descibed so well ever before. and Strindberg needed only three acts, six characters and the classical unity as his ally to show all this. now, no matter what, I have to see it on stage - the dialogues are very brief and succinct but at the same time simply overloaded with emotions and drama. each character is very distinct and original - with demonic Laura on the very top - and it's well shown in the pettiest details in the first act. and the language! good lord, it begs for learning Swedish from this very moment- just to be able to read this play in an original version! to all theatre lovers and theatre ignorants: just read it! it's a damn good play!
