The study of Naturalist theatre remains a staple and often foundational part of the curriculum at all levels of drama education. This anthology of six of the most commonly studied and revived Naturalist plays from the European repertoire offers a unique compendium that will serve as required reading for drama courses and is ideal for theatre practitioners and fans. The selected plays perfectly reflect the formal and geographical diversity of Naturalist theatre as well as its major philosophical, political and theatrical preoccupations. A critical introduction by Dr Chris Megson contextualises the emergence of Naturalist theatre in the late nineteenth century, identifying its principal aims and methods; provides an analysis of the selected plays, mapping their key preoccupations, and ends by considering Naturalism's enduring legacy and resonance today.

Året är 1896 och August Strindberg har just lagt pennan på hyllan, för att istället försöka framställa guld genom alkemiska experiment. Men ju fler experiment som misslyckas, desto mer övertygad blir han om att en osynlig hand styr hans liv, och steg för steg går han vilse i en labyrint av svart magi, hemliga tecken och paranoida vanföreställningar. Inferno är en av August Strindbergs mest svårtillgängliga och mystiska verk. I Fabian Göransons seriebearbetning lyfts denna märkliga berättelse fram med humor, intensivt berättande och kraftfulla illustrationer. En sjudande sekelskiftsvärld öppnas upp för läsaren, fylld av konstnärsbohemer, religiösa grubblerier och en helt ny bild av nationalskalden August. Fabian Göranson är född 1978 och bosatt i Stockholm. Hans serier har publicerats i bl.a. Aftonbladet, Ordfront magasin och Arbetaren. 2006 debuterade han med den kritikerrosande serieboken Gaskriget. I dagens nyheter skrev Stefan Helgesson: Inte sedan Joakim Pirinen och Max Andersson har en debuterande svensk serietecknare framträtt med en sådan auktoritet... Det är postkolonial ironi på hög nivå, och samtidigt mer än ironi, kalla det poesi.
