August Strindberg's tale of life in decadent artists' circles of 1890s Sweden is brought to life in 1960s California.

August Strindberg Repertory will present Strindberg's "Damascus II," adapted by Edgar Chisholm, directed by Robert Greer. This is the second installment of the three-part work in which Strindberg first introduced true surrealism to the stage in the theatrical representation of the dream. Strindberg's tale of life in decadent artists' circles of 1890s Sweden will be brought to life in 1960s California and its leading character, an alienated writer, has been re-envisioned as an author modeled on Amiri Baraka.
