Ingmar Bergman's chamber drama is a character study dealing with the universal themes of faith, family, and reality. Bergman's movie won the 1962 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Ingmar Bergman's Academy Award-winning film delves into the
relationships and spiritual issues of four family members. Recently
adapted by Jenny Worton, the stage version features the same intense
intimacy that made the film such a powerful picture of a young woman's
descent into insanity. While her emotionally detached father looks on
and her doctor husband suffers from his inability to halt the
progression of her mental illness, Karin finds herself struggling to
keep a grip on her sanity. Set in a 24-hour time period, the play shows
how their lives are turned upside down before they are offered a glimmer
of hope.
