The Pelican

A recently widowed Mother makes advances on her Son-in-law. Her Son and Daughter are starting to ask questions about the household in which they grew up cold and hungry. Her Son-in-law awaits the inheritance from the deceased. And the recently deceased Father says more from his grave than he ever did while living.

“My contempt for life, humanity, society and myself is so boundless, that I can’t be bothered to live anymore…”

Written in 1907 by August Strindberg – one of the major pioneers of modern drama, ‘The Pelican” is a merciless study of human nature, with surgical precision cutting into the depths of psyche to explore the effects of fostering false illusions.
