Creditors October 17, 2009

Adaptor/director Doug Wright gives August Strindberg's 'Creditors' a modern-day urgency in this compelling and savagely witty play. Two men -- an artist and a mysterious stranger -- strike up a seemingly innocent conversation at a seaside resort. As they exchange increasingly intimate perspectives on art, marriage and women -- in particular, the artist's wife -- undercurrents of sexuality, language and economics explode into a tangled web of intrigue, suspicion and revenge.
