Caryl Churchills spare and resonant version of Strindbergs enigmatic masterpiece. Written in 1901; a mysterious amalgam of Freud; Alice in Wonderland and Strindbergs own private symbolism; A Dream Play follows the logic of a dream: A young woman comes from another world to see if life is really as difficult as people make it out to be. Characters merge into each other; locations change in an instant and a locked door becomes an obsessive recurrent image. As Strindberg wrote in his preface; he wanted to imitate the disjointed yet seemingly logical shape of a dream. Everything can happen; everything is possible and probable. Time and place do not exist. From a literal translation by Charlotte Barslund. Introduction by Caryl Churchill. elegant yet funereal and; like dreams; paradoxically serene and fraught- Independent on Sunday 100 minutes of disconcerting theatrical brilliance... spellbinding- Daily Telegraph

Very well written. Having been a county building inspector ...By Diane B. UcciVery well written. Having been a county building inspector for many years; I found this book to be comprehensive and accurate.3 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Not Useful for ProsBy Beth E.I thought this would be a comprehensive guide based on the other "Graphic Standards" field guides that I have; but I was wrong. Although the information seemed accurate; it was very basic and only for amateurs.Good read for the very basic homeowner; but far too simple for a professional in any of the trades; designers or inspectors! Also; the images are small and black white.Sorry; but this one was lacking any real benefit; in my opinion.
