Creditors 2023

Theater for the New City will present Creditors 2023, an innovative August Strindberg Rep adaptation of Strindberg’s Creditors. The 1888 drama will be updated to modern Long Island in this version, which is newly translated and directed by Robert Greer. It’s 2023 and Gustav, a professor of classics and archaeology, travels in disguise to Montauk, where his faithless ex-wife, celebrity novelist Tekla, and her eminent painter husband Adolf are summering. During Tekla’s absence on a book tour, Gustav worms his way into Adolf’s confidence and undermines their already shaky marriage, with fatal consequences.
