A captivating mix of Freud, Alice in Wonderland and playwright August Strindberg's own personal symbolism, A Dream Play is a mesmerizing journey into the mind. Agnes, a dying woman, dreams she is the daughter of the Hindu god Indra, who comes to Earth to better understand the sufferings and cruelties of mankind. As her dream journey plays out, symbols rule, with settings and characters suddenly shifting, revealing inner conflict and making for a visual theatrical feast. A departure from Strindberg's earlier realist works like The Father and Miss Julie, A Dream Play laid the groundwork for the expressionist and surrealist movements to come. Don't miss The Cutting Ball Theater's production of this landmark work at EXIT on Taylor in San Francisco.
