Easter

By August Strindberg
“Strindberg and Painting”
April 8, 2012, 1pm

Thought by many to be Strindberg’s most successful marrying of his realistic and expressionistic styles, Easter tells the story of a family on the brink of bankruptcy who finds salvation in the daughter, newly arrived from an asylum, who speaks from beyond this world.

This reading will be followed by a discussion of the play and Strindberg’s career as a painter.
