DANIEL GERROLL is DR GLAS in JEFFREY HATCHER’S adaptation of the classic Swedish novel by HJALMAR SÖDERBERG. When you read this psychological thriller with its dashes of philosophical musings woven into intricate and intimate journal entries, DR GLAS stays deeply embedded in the imagination. Published in 1905 in Swedish it wasn’t until 1963 that there was an available English translation. In 1942 it was adapted for a film in black and white by Rune Carlsten and in 1968 Mai Zetterling directed a Danish version in color. Various stage adaptations have appeared all over Northern Europe but this adaptation by JEFFREY HATCHER, performed by DANIEL GERROLL, is the first serious American version. It was workshopped in 2020 in the inaugural SOLO FLIGHTS one-person play festival produced by Jed Bernstein, directed by Lisa Peterson. In 2021 it was part of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s covid-era video series, directed by the Artistic Director David Ellenstein. In 2022 we took it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it played for two weeks. In September 2023 it was expanded from a 60 minute one act to a full length play and presented at the inaugural Ukraine Fringe Festival in Kyiv. As of January 2024 it is available for future presentation.
