Description:

Two of the most influential and early feminist plays to have ever graced the stage, we have have Miss Julie and The Stronger. Miss Julie is a one act tragedy that finds itself in a similar vein as Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabbler" and "A Doll's House," in which the main woman of the play (Miss Julie) tries to take hold of her own destiny and break away from the system that has failed to meet her needs, but is unable (or unwilling) to see the consequences of her own actions--a desperate cry for legitimacy to a society that seems indifferent to her struggle. The Stronger, in comparison, is a ten minute play about the fallout of such a decision, and confronting that catalyst many years later--a contemplation on the manipulation of thought (both of the main character and the object of her insecurities) and the forgetfulness of coping. Duration - 9h 43m. Author - August Strindberg. Narrator - Brendan Moir. Published Date - Sunday, 14 January 2024. Copyright - © 1899 August Strindberg ©.
