The Ghost Sonata
''The Ghost Sonata'' ( sv, Spöksonaten, links=no) is a play in three acts by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg. Written in 1907, it was first produced at Strindberg's Intimate Theatre in Stockholm on 21 January 1908. Since then, it has been staged by such notable directors as Max Reinhardt, Olof Molander, Roger Blin, and Ingmar Bergman. Bergman directed it four times: in 1941, 1954, 1973, and 2000. Strindberg took the title from Piano Sonata No. 17 (Beethoven), Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, which he called 'The Gespenster Sonata', and also Piano Trio No. 5 (Beethoven), Piano Trio No. 5 in D major, known as the 'Ghost Trio'. ''The Ghost Sonata'' is a key text in the development of modernist drama and a vivid example of a chamber play. In it, Strindberg creates a world in which ghosts walk in bright daylight, a beautiful woman is transformed into a mummy and lives in the closet, and the household cook sucks all the nourishment out of the food before she serves ...

Mary Sandbach
Mary Warburton Sandbach (born Mary Warburton Matthews; 25 April 1901 – 3 November 1990) was a British translator. She is noted for her translations of the Swedish writer August Strindberg. Life Sandbach was born in Edgbaston in 1901. Her parents were Miriam (born Warburton) and Arthur Daniel Mathews. Her father was a foundry owner who went bankrupt. She experimented with attending Edgbaston High School for Girls but she preferred to be home educated by her mother. She was not considered academic, unlike her sister, who went to attend Newnham College, Cambridge. Mary had no formal educational qualifications. In 1922 she began her interest in Scandinavia when she set out to be an au pair there. This was her second choice as her skill with the violin had failed to get her a place at the Royal School of Music. She was there for a year; in 1925 she returned, and spent four years in Sweden. She returned to Birmingham where she studied speech therapy and she volunteered to assis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
