August Strindberg is recognized not only as one of the world's greatest dramatist, but also as one of the world's outspoken misogynists. His contempt for women is clearly evident in his play The Father where the patriarchal Captain of the Swedish Army is at odds with his uncooperative wife about the future of their daughter's life. In this new adaptation by Oliver Hailey the father and the mother are given equal voice heightening the situation and adding power to one of the modern theatre's truly great plays.
