The Stronger
The Stronger (Swedish: Den starkare) is an 1889 Swedish play by August Strindberg.
The play consists of only one scene. The characters are two women of which only one speaks; an example of a dramatic monologue. The importance of the silent character in a situational plot is also described as a monodrama.
Strindberg’s distinctive one-act play as proponent naturalism (theatre), embodies a theatrical style with psychological cause and effect. Moment to moment revelations reflect a power struggle between two characters of which only one speaks. The title; "The Stronger", suggests possible motivation and outcome.
• Mme (or Mrs.) X.
• Mlle (or Miss) Y
• A Waitress (suggested but not needed in the playing)
Two actresses, one married and one not, meet accidentally at a café. The audience witnesses many reactions and imply meaning through the verbal recitation of the married character combined with the silent reaction and physical activity of the unmarried character. The relationship between the two involves an unseen character; the husband. The play is semi-autobiographical.
The Stronger was first presented on a triple bill at the Dagmar Theatre, March 9, 1889 as part of Mr. Strindberg’s own company: The Scandinavian Experimental Theatre. The other two plays were Creditors (play) and Pariah. The characters: (Mrs. X) was portrayed by Strindberg’s first wife; Siri von Essen, with Nathalia Larsen (Miss Y).
