With great sadness, the editors inform the community of the passing of Harry Carlson, one of our most distinguished Strindberg scholars and translators.
Harry G. Carlson 1930-2012
Harry G. Carlson, respected professor of theatre history and modern drama and internationally renowned scholar and translator of Swedish literature, died on 22 December 2012 in Stony Brook Hospital, NY, age 82. He is best known as a leading authority on the works of August Strindberg and Lars Forsell, and as one of the greatest Strindberg scholars who above all others transformed public perception of the Swedish playwright from a peculiar Swede to a foundational figure of literary modernism. Carlson’s books and scholarly articles were published both in English and Swedish and were translated into many other languages. His most influential books include Strindberg and the Poetry of Myth (1982) and Out of Inferno: Strindberg’s Reawakening as an Artist (1996). He left behind a yet unpublished manuscript on August Strindberg as a painter and his relationship to French artists and art colonies of his time. He also translated many scholarly works from Swedish into English, including August Strindberg by Martin Lamm and “The Art of Acting” by Frederick Schyberg, which became classic texts for students of drama and theatre worldwide. Harry Carlson’s highly praised play translations (to be found in his Strindberg: Five Plays and in Modern Nordic Plays: Sweden, among other published volumes) continue to be widely read and produced by theatre companies internationally. He also had a life-long engagement with the theatre and worked on productions both in Sweden and in the US as dramaturg and simultaneous interpreter.
Harry Carlson was a passionate teacher and educator and will be missed by generations of students who were mentored by him and were inspired by his great enthusiasm for his subject and his generosity and dedication to his students. After earning his Ph.D. at Ohio State University he taught at various universities in Illinois and Georgia, and finally at the Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance at Queens College and the Ph.D. Program in Theatre at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Even after retiring form CUNY, he remained active as a teacher until his death, lecturing on Shakespeare for enthusiastic groups of students on Long Island, most recently at the Amagansett Public Library, while residing in his home in East Hampton.
Born in New York City, Harry Carlson was raised in the Bronx, was drafted upon graduating from high school, and served in the Korean War. In 1957 he married Carolyn Peterson, his wife for more than 50 years. For his achievement as scholar and translator he was awarded an honorary Doctorate by Umeå University, Sweden (1990), and was recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship (1966), and fellowships from the American-Scandinavian Foundation. He was a staunch believer in social justice, fairness, and democracy, and his warm and generous spirit will live on in his works and in the hearts of his family, colleagues, friends, and students. He is survived by his wife Carolyn. It is fitting to say goodbye with the words of his beloved poet, Shakespeare:
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
Funeral services were held Friday, 28 December, 2012, at St Michael’s Lutheran Church, Amagansett NY.

Summer/Fall 2012 New York, New York
Rabbit Hole Ensemble presents
A DAY IN AUGUST
adapted from the novella “Alone” by August Strindberg
devised by Rabbit Hole Ensemble
directed by Edward Elefterion
Adapted from Strindberg’s final novella “Alone”, A DAY IN AUGUST is a new theatre piece inspired by Strindberg’s dramatic experiments with structure and theme.
Strindberg’s vigorous imagination was stimulated by whatever material he found around him: his dreams, daily observations of his neighbors and strangers, real (and imagined) encounters with lovers, enemies and friends, even his deep feeling for the power of music. A DAY IN AUGUST invites audiences to spy in secret on Strindberg and his private experiences over the course of a single day.

Crimes and Crimes in new translation/adaptation to be performed March 1-10 in Cambridge, Massachusetts
A new translation and contemporary adaptation of August Strindberg’s black comedy Crimes and Crimes by Ulrika Brand will premiere as a staged reading in conjunction with Harvard University’s Strindberg Symposium in March.
The play will be performed Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm, the first two weekends of March (March 1,2,3 and 8,9,10) hosted by INVIVIA, located a short walk from the Harvard campus at 1684 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge 02138, next door to Rafiki Bistro. Seating is limited; reservations are required; the suggested donation is $12/adults, $6/seniors, free/students with ID: CrimesandcrimesRSVP@strindbergfestival.com
This new translation/adaptation of Crimes and Crimes transposes the play’s action 100 years from fin-de-siècle Paris to Los Angeles at the end of the millenium. The central character is a screenwriter, Bernard, who, after years of struggling on the fringes of the movie business, finally sells a screenplay, changing his life “overnight.” What follows is a suspenseful tale of “success” and its repercussions. Strindberg’s preoccupation with the battle of the sexes is center stage along with questions of guilt and what constitutes a crime.
The staged reading will be performed by Bill Barclay (Actors Shakespeare Project), Jaime Robert Carrillo (former member, Classical Theatre of Harlem), Jennifer O’Connor (company member, Whistler in the Dark), Judith Kalaora (Oleanna, Contemporary Theatre of Boston), Lisa Rowe Beddoe (Arcadia, New Century Theatre, Northampton), Sally Nutt (Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Lyric Stage), Don Tempesta and Megan White under the direction of Ulrika Brand (member, Lincoln Center Theatre Directors Lab). Visual design is by Marina Sartori.
Harvard University to Present Strindberg Symposium March 2 and 3, 2012 The symposium is free and open to the public, taking place at the Barker Center on the Harvard campus. Featured speakers and workshop participants include: Ture Rangström, Artistic Director, Strindberg’s Intimate Theater in Stockholm; Robert Brustein, Professor Emeritus of English, Harvard University and Founder of the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge; Anna Westerståhl Stenport, Director of Scandinavian Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Eszter Szalczer, Director of History, Literature and Criticism, Theatre Department, SUNY Albany; David Krasner, Associate Professor of Performing Arts, Emerson College; Víctor Grovas, Associate Professor, Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana, México. Roundtable discussions will be moderated by Harvard professor of Scandinavian and Folklore Steven Mitchell and Ulrika Brand. Topics will include Strindberg and Modernism and the reception of Strindberg’s plays in the United States, as well as Mexico, and their influence on such American playwrights as Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee. For a complete schedule of events, see http://www.scandinavianstudiesharvard.com/site/Strindberg.html
This event is made possible by a generous grant from the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Coordinating Committee for Nordic Studies Abroad (SNU) as part of the Scandinavian Program’s “Nordic Environments” series; a Harvard Provostial Funds grant; and a visiting speaker grant from the Swedish Institute in Stockholm.
