The Voyage Theater Company presents this little-known dysfunctional family drama by seminal Swedish playwright August Strindberg.
'The Pelican' features an evil mother, who lets her children go hungry while she lives the high life. After her husband dies and her daughter gets married, the mother’s life of greed and excess is revealed. Unwilling to take responsibility, she sets a series of tragic events in motion. This searing drama about familial politics and economic inequality is just as provocative today as it was when it was first produced in 1907.
