STRIPPED SCRIPTS Theater Company will present the world premiere of CANARY SNUFF FILM, written by Elizabeth M. Kelly (LAByrinth, EST), Heidi Armbruster (Mrs. Christie at Dorset Theater Festival, Every Good Girl Deserves Funa?? at Walker Space) and Maggie Diaz Bofill (Devil of Choice at LAByrinth, Winners at EST), and directed by Alfredo Narciso (LAByrinth, EST & Partial Comfort company member), Michelle Bossy (HBO Access Program semifinalist, Denham Fellowship recipient) and Jessica Bauman (Dorset Theater Festival resident director, New Georges).

Sweden's greatest modernist playwright, August Strindberg, returned from the Continent to Stockholm in 1906, where he lived out his last seven years. There he wrote 'The Pelican' for his Intimate Theater in 1907 and 'Isle of the Dead' (Toten-Insel) immediately after as its prologue. The latter was unpublished until 1918 and rediscovered in the early 60s, when it was found and promptly dismissed as an incomplete fragment. The two plays were finally reunited by Ingmar Bergman in a radio version in 2003. It was his last dramatic production. From February 6 to 22 August Strindberg Rep, a resident company of Theater for the New City (TNC), will bring the two plays to the stage together for the first time in history. It will also be the world premiere of new English translations of both plays by Robert Greer, Artistic Director of Strindberg Rep, who helms the production.
