Creditors

Every desire has a cost.

At a secluded seaside hotel, a young artist and his magnetic wife find their marriage unsettled by the arrival of a charismatic stranger. What begins as friendly conversation turns into something sharper: a slow, surgical dismantling of certainty, confidence, and love.

In this razor-edged reimagining of Strindberg’s classic, Artistic Director Brendan Healy and an all-star cast transform a classic battle of the sexes into a thrilling psychological chamber piece about ego, desire, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Seductive, unsettling, and darkly funny, Creditors asks: who owns the narrative and who pays the price?

“CREDITORS (SILVERMAN)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com. CREDITORS was commissioned by Sonia Friedman Productions and originally premiered Off-Broadway by Audible x TOGETHER at The Minetta Lane Theatre in May 2025
