Creditors (Swedish: Fordringsägare) is a naturalistic tragicomedy by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg. It was written in Swedish during August and September 1888 in Denmark. It was first published in Danish in February 1889 and appeared in Swedish in 1890. It premiered at the Dagmar Theatre in Copenhagen in March 1889. It is seen as one of Strindberg's most powerful plays. Strindberg himself, writing in 1892, described it as his "most mature work." In 1891, Strindberg accused Henrik Ibsen of plagiarising the play in his Hedda Gabler (1890). Strindberg wrote: "Hedda Gabler is a bastard of Laura in The Father and Tekla in Creditors". Pariah (Swedish: Paria) is a one-act play written by August Strindberg. The play involves a battle of brains between two men, “Mr. X and Mr. Y’’ in a Darwinian struggle for survival. Less
