IN DEVELOPMENT

THE STRONGER BY IRON LUNG THEATRE

Iron Lung Theatre will be developing August Strindberg’s The Stronger as part of their Company in Residence position with Theatre Works. The original translation and adaptation by WAAPA and Calle Flygare (Sweden) graduate, Julia Landberg, will be a world premiere on the Theatre Works stage! Written in 1889, The Stronger is a fascinating study of the shifting power between two women and a potential affair one had with the other’s husband. A beautiful and twisted theatrical imagining of hysteria confused by the patriarchal push upon the wounded womb, set in Madeleine Albright’s hell: for women who don’t help other women. A 135 year old two-hander play by one of the fathers of modern theatre explores Queen Bee and mean girl behaviours with a chorus of 5 female actors embodying the text of one character. The process will involve a creative development to explore a new way of rehearsing for Iron Lung and a public showing in the latter half of 2022. ABOUT THE ARTISTS - IRON LUNG THEATRE Iron Lung is a Melbourne-based independent theatre company founded by co-artistic directors Briony Dunn and Esther van Doornum. They produce classic and contemporary Australian, American and European text based work and create theatre of imaginative daring and emotional depth. 87
