Written in 1890 and described by Donmar as Strindberg's most mature work, Creditors is a darkly comic tale of obsession, honor and revenge. It is presented in a new version by regular Donmar playwright/adaptor David Greig. The production continues the Donmar's commitment to presenting European drama in new adaptations for a modern audience.

Rickman, best known as an actor, has also previously directed My Name Is Rachel Corrie (Royal Court Theatre and subsequently at the West End's Playhouse Theatre and Off-Broadway) and The Winter Guest at the Almeida.

Playwright/translator Greig previously provided the Donmar with a new version of Caligula, while his original play The Cosmonaut's Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union was revived at the Donmar in 2005.
