<DIV><p>Following the logic of a dream&mdash;in which characters merge, locations change in an instant, and a locked door recurs obsessively&mdash;Strindberg&rsquo;s 1902 <i>A Dream Play</i> is a potent mix of Freud plus <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>. Caryl Churchill, perhaps the most fascinating and respected female dramatist in the English-speaking world, has taken on Strindberg&rsquo;s <i>Dream</i> in this spare and resonant adaptation.</p><p><b>Caryl Churchill</b>&rsquo;s singular and striking plays include <i>Cloud Nine</i>, <i>Top Girls</i>, <i>Light Shining in Buckinghampshire</i>, <i>Serious Money</i>, <i>The Skriker</i>, <i>Blue Heart</i>, <i>Far Away</i>, and <i>A Number</i>.</p><p><b>August Strindberg</b> (1849&ndash;1912) wrote over 60 plays, including <i>Miss Julie</i>, <i>The Father</i>, and <i>The Dance of Death</i>. He is considered Sweden&rsquo;s greatest author.</p></DIV>
