The Father
August Strindberg, Robert Brustein
Paperback (Ivan R. Dee, April 1, 1992)By far Strindberg's most aggressive work, The Father is a feverish nightmare of the struggle he saw between defiant masculinity and the "treacherous weakness" of woman. Mr. Brustein's adaptation takes account of modern feminist sensibilities without diminishing the play's relentless power and furious conclusion.

Paperback (Ivan R.
