The National Theatre of Norway returns to The Coronet Theatre, following their sold-out production of Ibsen’s Little Eyolf, with August Strindberg’s savagely comic Dance of Death.
On a remote island off the coast of Sweden, Alice and Edgar are locked in a furiously dysfunctional marriage. As they hurtle towards their 25th wedding anniversary, their brutal sparring is interrupted by the arrival of a newcomer, and their insular existence begins to spiral out of control.
Marit Moum Aune (The Lady From the Sea) directs acclaimed Norwegian actors Pia Tjelta, Jon Øigarden and Thorbjørn Harr in a fiery new version of Strindberg’s classic, which delves into the primitive instincts that lie beneath human behaviour.
