BSA presents Caryl Churchill's surreal and beautiful adaptation of August Strindberg's voyage of discovery

A Dream Play

By Caryl Churchill (adapted from Strindberg)
Directed by John Adams

A Dream Play follows the logic of a dream. Everything is possible: time moves forward and backward, characters dissolve and reappear and buildings grow like plants, as Agnes (daughter of god Indra) descends to Earth to understand human suffering. Laced with compassion and beauty, delight and melancholy, A Dream Play straddles Expressionism and Surrealism, escaping the confines of reality to embrace the emotional experience of being alive.

This production contains scenes of an adult nature, but is suitable for older children. Presented by Birmingham School of Acting in association with Samuel French Ltd.
