Janie and I are both very partial to a bit of Strindberg.
Creditors is a top drawer Strindberg play and this was a top draw production of same at the Donmar.
I had seen a smaller scale production of this before – at The Gate back in the 1980s – I’ll review that too in the fullness of time. But this version of Creditors, in David Greig’s edgy hands, was even more gripping than I remembered the play.
Here is a link to the Donmar’s excellent downloadable Study Guide for this production.
Superb cast too – all three of them excellent.
- Michael Billington in the Guardian really liked “Alan Rickman’s bracingly intelligent revival” – click here;
- Indeed, LondonTheatre.co.uk summarises several major reviews (pretty much all positive) and provides links – click here.
Even the West End Whingers were on the case for this one and seemed broadly satisfied – click here.
An especially good night at the theatre.
