dc.description.abstractWhat does it mean for a theatre production to have soul or spirit? What choices can the director make, starting from the conceiving process, to encourage a production to find spirit? How do these choices factor into the questions around the theatre director as creative or interpretive artist? In directing August Strindbergs A Dream Play, I intend to answer these questions. This paper looks at how August Strindberg crafted poetic autobiography into A Dream Play, and proposes a similar conceiving process for the director. The research is then followed by selected journal entries from the rehearsal process.
