This is the 100th Anniversary of August Strindberg’s groundbreaking, hugely influential classic. Pre-figuring much of 20th Century theatrical form and horror-film conventions, Ghost Sonata creates a world where the audience is never quite sure whether anyone is alive or not.
A young student with the ability to see the dead encounters a ghoul-like old man, a woman called The Mummy, a vampire cook who sucks the sustenance from all food, and a host of creatures intent on making him one of them. A strange, startling and mesmerizing night of theater.
