Dödsdansen (The Dance of Death,1900), written by Johan August Strindberg (1849 – 1912), and produced in Berlin, in 1912.

Scenes from Dödsdansen (The Dance of Death, 1900), written by the Swedish playwright Johan August Strindberg (1849 – 1912), staged by Max Reinhardt at Deutsches Theater, Berlin, in 1912.

The Dance of Death (Swedish: Dödsdansen) refers to two plays, The Dance of Death I, and The Dance of Death II, both written by August Strindberg in 1900. Part one was written in September, and then, after receiving a response to the play, part two was written in November. The two plays have much in common, and each is a full evening in the theatre. If they are joined together as one theatre-going experience, a couple of unexplained discrepancies between the two plays present difficulties. For example, in part one the Captain is desperately poor, and in part two he is well-to-do.
