Scandinavian Drama at Yale

This may well fall into the category of “research nobody asked for”, but I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of what Scandinavian plays have been produced at Yale over the years. As the list shows, it’s essentially a predictable mix of Naturalist Ibsen and Strindberg, with a little bit of Symbolist Strindberg and some outlier stage productions of Ingmar Bergman’s films Persona and Höstsonaten.

I would like to see if I can find some of the original playbills and other publicity material for these productions before the annual conference of the Society for Scandinavian Study comes to New Haven this March… we’ll see how easy that proves to be.
