Creditors (Swedish: Fordringsägare) is a naturalistic tragicomedy by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg.[1][2] It was written in Swedish during August and September 1888 in Denmark.[3][4] It was first published in Danish in February 1889 and appeared in Swedish in 1890.[5][6] It premiered at the Dagmar Theatre in Copenhagen in March 1889.[7] It is seen as one of Strindberg's most powerful plays.[8] Strindberg himself, writing in 1892, described it as his "most mature work."[9]
