There Are Crimes and Crimes by August Strindberg, first performed in 1900, is a four-act play that straddles the line between tragedy and comedy. Written in Swedish and later translated into English by Edwin Björkman, the play explores the concept of “crime” not as a legal issue but as a moral and spiritual dilemma rooted in human conscience. Strindberg combines social realism with symbolic and philosophical insight to portray the modern individual torn between personal desire and ethical duty. The story follows Maurice, a young playwright, whose ambition and complex relationships—including with his lover Jean, their daughter Marion, and Henriette, the wife of a friend—lead him to confront temptation, guilt, and the consequences of moral choice.
