Synopsis:

He’s a vampire. He sucks the life out of people because his own life bores him so much.
 
A plague rages across Europe. On a remote island, former actress Alice (Lisa Dillon) and army Captain Edgar (Will Keen) are quarantined together – locked in a bitter, brutal, and addictive marriage. When an old friend arrives to help celebrate their wedding anniversary, it’s the perfect excuse for the couple to take their terrifying games to a new level.
August Strindberg’s masterpiece Dance of Death is a darkly comic portrait of psychological warfare – a toxic love story that continues to thrill audiences today.
 
Richard Eyre follows a series of revelatory Ibsen productions with this new adaptation featuring three of Britain’s top theatre actors, Lisa Dillon, Will Keen, and Geoffrey Streatfeild.
