'He's a vampire. He sucks the life out of people because his own life bores him so much.'
A plague rages across Europe. On a remote island, former actress Alice and army officer Captain Edgar are quarantined together – locked in a bitter, brutal and compulsive marriage.
When an old friend arrives to help celebrate their wedding anniversary, it's the perfect excuse for the couple to take their games to a terrifying new level.
Filled with wit and savagery, Richard Eyre's thrilling version of August Strindberg's Dance of Death is a darkly comic portrait of psychological warfare. It premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre, London, in 2026.
Richard Eyre is a writer, theatre director, and former Artistic Director of the National Theatre. His previous work for the stage includes The Snail House, and revelatory adaptations of three Ibsen plays: Hedda Gabler, Ghosts and Little Eyolf.
