Creditors
CREDITORS is the suspenseful tale of two men who meet at a seaside resort in Sweden—a sculptor and a mysterious stranger—only to discover that they have something unexpected in common; a woman. In Wright’s adaptation of Strindberg’s forgotten masterwork, all three characters engage in a deadly game of wits, opening old wounds and inflicting fresh ones. Written in 1888, the play still bears its ferocious sting, and is reminiscent of the most contemporary erotic thrillers with its blend of toxic desire and wicked intent.

A human and often humorous solo drama, EISENHOWER: THIS PIECE OF GROUND is a highly entertaining piece of theatre, and a compelling reminder of what lies at the heart of democracy.
