TCG has published British playwright Caryl Churchill's version of August Strindberg's 1907 classic A Dream Play.

A Dream Play, a seldom-seen work by the Swedish master, sees Strindberg trying to write a play that imitates the logic of a dream. The story follows a young woman from another world who stops on Earth to find out what life it like for the natives. Locales change in the blink of an eye and characters merge into one another.

The adaptation was performed at the National Theatre of London. Katie Mitchell directed.

Churchill is the author of Blue Heart, Far Away, Cloud Nine, A Number and Mad Forest.
