Book excerpt: Strindberg called these five highly original late works (from 1907) chamber plays to remind us of Beethoven's last quartets. Like the quartets, they are intensely disciplined yet elliptical creations, Written for the Intimate Theatre (founded with August Flack), they strive to reach elusive states of being. Strindberg breaks down for us the barriers between sensory perception and fantasy, between real people and their self-projections, between the living and the dead.
