Synopsis: Mr. Bengt's Wife by August Strindberg

First English translation by Malin Tybåhl and Laurence Carr

Mr. Bengt's Wife is the passionate story of Margit, an orphan and rebellious novice who breaks her convent vows to marry her "Knight", Lord Bengt, a wealthy landowner. Her husband's fortunes soon dwindle, and she seeks her freedom from her approaching poverty. As her marriage dissolves. she is hotly pursued by the convent Priest, and a childhood friend who is now the Bailiff of the town. Her love/hate relationship with Bengt also continues, adding to Margit's personal revolution with 19^th century society's view of women and the emerging feminist movement. Seeking to end her life, Margit finds herself a "new woman", who will engage with men, women and society on her own terms. Mr. Bengt's Wife is Strindberg's rebuttal to Henrik Ibsen's, A Doll's House, interweaving scenes of realism and dreamscape into a powerful dramatic work from one of the masters of modernism.
