"August Strindberg isn’t the first playwright who springs to mind when the phrase “comedy of manners” is uttered. Depending on how boisterous you find Georg Büchner and Neil LaBute, he may be the last. Nonetheless, the newly christened August Strindberg Repertory Theater has sprung to life with a dapper production of that Swedish master’s obscure comedy 'Playing With Fire.' "
