Voice Dream Reader is an accessible reading tool for mobile and tablet devices. With advanced text-to-speech and a highly configurable screen layout, it can be tailored to suit every reading style from completely auditory to completely visual, plus synchronized combination of both. “A Dream Play” begins as Agnes, the daughter of Indra, descends to Earth in the form of a beautiful woman to find the roots of humanity’s discontent with their existence. Her journey is intended to reflect the story of Jesus, as she experiences the pain of being human. If A Dream Play's goal is to emulate dreams then it falls quite short. A dream is not so shifting and spontaneous. Rather than 'A Dream Play', I would call it 'A Play of Dreams', for it consists of several individual scenes, which may each be said to resemble a single dream.

A Dream Play (Swedish: Ett drömspel) was written in 1901 by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg. It was first performed in Stockholm on 17 April 1907. It remains one of Strindberg's most admired and influential dramas, seen as an important precursor to both dramatic Expressionism and Surrealism.
Plot[edit]
The primary character in the play is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra. She descends to Earth to bear witness to problems of human beings. She meets about 40 characters, some of them having a clearly symbolical value (such as four deans representing theology, philosophy, medicine, and law). After experiencing all sorts of human suffering (for example poverty, cruelty, and the routine of family life), the daughter of gods realizes that human beings are to be pitied. Finally, she returns to Heaven and this moment corresponds to the awakening from a dream-like sequence of events.
Interpretations[edit]
The use of a dream to represent a setting in a theatrical work appealed to the traditionally realist author in that Strindberg expresses realistic concerns such as materialism, class struggle, gender role struggle, and the destruction of traditional marriage in (as stated in the preface) 'the disconnected but apparently logical form of a dream. Everything can happen; everything is possible and likely.'
The play itself represents a change in his style, one that would have widespread influence on the development of modernist drama. Eschewing realism, Strindberg explained that he had modeled his play, not on the pattern of cause and effect that had characterized the well-made play, but on the associative links found in dreams. Locales dissolve and give way to each other; time both moves forward and backward. During the course of the play, a castle grows up in the garden, as if it were a plant. At the play's end, it burns, revealing a wall of suffering and despairing faces, then blossoms at its top in a huge chrysanthemum.
A description of the play's style can be found in Strindberg's prefatory note:
The characters split, double, multiply, evaporate, condense, dissolve and merge. But one consciousness rules them all: the dreamer's; for him there are no secrets, no inconsistencies, no scruples and no laws. He does not judge or acquit, he merely relates; and because a dream is usually painful rather than pleasant, a tone of melancholy and compassion for all living creatures permeates the rambling narrative.
The play itself doesn't center around a single well-defined individual, but rather simply follows someone who seems to be a combination of different professional men, all confused. The feminine foil to these men is Indra's Daughter, a Christ-like figure played in the original production by Harriet Bosse, Strindberg's ex-wife.
Psychology of the author[edit]
Strindberg wrote it following a near-psychotic episode. During that time, he came to be extremely disturbed, thinking witches were attempting to murder him.[1][2] He later wrote a memoir about this period of his life. Eventually, though, he recovered, thanks to his mother-in-law.[3]
Previously, Strindberg had seen himself as a martyr, constantly persecuted by women. This affected his view of the overall relationship between the sexes, and of course his writing. He finally realized that he was playing a part in his failed relationships after his third marriage (to Harriet Bosse) collapsed. Bosse was behind the main character of A Dream Play.
Mar 16, 2011 A static method can be marked transient which would normally be redundant, but you could use this to highlight static fields you don't want to serialize. You can call this method from your writeObject to save you having to do this for every field. Dec 29, 2013 Static variables belong to a class and not to any individual instance. The concept of serialization is concerned with the object’s current state. Only data associated with a specific instance of a class is serialized, therefore static member fields are ignored during serialization. Transient Variable.

The play, called by Strindberg 'the child of my greatest pain,' reflects the author's observation that life is an illusion, similar to a dream.
Notable productions[edit]
The Quarantine Inspector in a 2010 production of A Dream Play
The world premiere of A Dream Play was performed at The Swedish Theatre in April 1907, six years after it was written. Harriet Bosse, Strindberg's third wife (divorced by this time) played Indra's daughter. Victor Castegren directed the production and Carl Grabow was the designer. Critics at the time noted that the demands of the play made it nearly impossible to mount a satisfactory production. Strindberg himself desired to re-stage it in his Intimate Theatre, but ultimately it was not successful.
Dream Girls Play Summary
The play afterward attracted some of the 20th century's most celebrated directors, including Max Reinhardt, Olof Molander, Antonin Artaud, Ingmar Bergman, Roger Blin, Robert Wilson, Mike Dempsey, Robert Lepage and Alejandro Jodorowsky.[4] The German director Knut Ström staged A Dream Play in Dusseldorf in 1918, co-directed with Paul Henkels.[5]
An edited version by Caryl Churchill[6] was staged at the National Theatre in London in 2005. The edited version was brought to other areas too, such as Edge Theatre Ensemble in Seattle[7] and Jobsite Theater in Tampa,[8] and was brought to Sheffield's Drama Studio[9] in February 2012.
A new adaptation by Emma Reay was performed at Oxford Playhouse in 2011.[10]Dreamplay: Asian Boys Vol. 1, playwright Alfian Sa'at's loose adaptation, premiered in Singapore in 2000 and was re-staged in 2014.[11]
