Ibsen, Strindberg and Chekov, The Trinity

Join ADFAS Camden (Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies), in this months’ Ibsen, Strindberg and Chekov, The Trinity; given by lecturer Giles Ramsay (The Arts Society). The end of the 19th Century saw a revolution in European drama as theatre began to address new and controversial topics such as sex, class and social unrest. Out of this age of upheaval emerged three of the greatest playwrights the world has ever known. This lecture looks at the reception their plays had in their own day and the legacy they have left to our own.
