August Strindberg Repertory Theatre (www.strindberg.org), which was formed last year to illuminate Strindberg's plays for today's American audiences, will present Strindberg's "Easter" (Pask, 1901) with an all-black cast, adapted and directed by Robert Greer, from March 8 to 31 at the Gene Frankel Theatre, 24 Bond Street (East Village). The play has a similar complement of characters to Strindberg's "Playing With Fire" (Leka med elden, 1893), with which the young company made an auspicious debut last Spring. Cast members from "Playing With Fire" will be returning to play their corresponding roles in "Easter."
