<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Frank McGuinness presents scintillating new versions of two of August Strindberg's plays -- one a major work, the other less well known. <i>Miss Julie</i> is Strindberg's examination of power, sex, and class, set on a midsummer's eve in a nobleman's house and focusing on the shifting relationship between Miss Julie, the daughter of the house, and Jean, her father's manservant. <i>The Stronger</i> is a short play that explores the complex range of emotions felt by Madame X when she encounters Mademoiselle Y, her husband's former mistress, at a fashionable cafe. Calling Mademoiselle Y worn out and evil, Madame X says that the triumph of her marriage proves she is the stronger of the two -- even though these words ring hollow, as she attempts to deceive only herself.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Frank McGuinness</b> is the author of several plays, including <i>Someone Who'll Watch Over Me</i>, as well as many acclaimed translations and adaptations, including <i>Electra</i> and <i>A Doll's House</i>.
