Burned House is one of Strindberg’s chamber plays written at the end of his life when he experimented with form. When a man returns to his hometown after years abroad, he finds his childhood home burned to the ground. As he sifts through the ashes, he finds clues to not only the origins of the fire but to the mysteries of his life as well.

Now in its third year, The Hidden Classics Reading Series is a great way to get to know fascinating classic plays just on the edge of regional theater offerings. It is a rare opportunity to hear them read and to have a chance to discuss these plays with directors, dramaturgs and actors from The Cutting Ball company.

All readings are at 7pm in Modern Times Bookstore's reading room at 888 Valencia St. They are free to the public and no reservations are necessary.
