DANIEL GERROLL is Dr. Glas in Jeffrey Hatcher's adaptation of the classic Swedish novel. The play tells the tale of an aloof Swedish physician who gradually unburdens his soul with the story of his obsession for another man's wife and the murder he plots to win her heart.
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 it played for two
weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 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.
This production stars Daniel Gerroll, who has appeared on
television in both the United Kingdom and the United States, although his
greater contribution has been to the stage in both countries.
In New York City, he has won the Theatre World Award for
The Slab Boys and Knuckle, the Outer Critics Circle
Award for Translations and the Village Voice's Obie Award for
Sustained Excellence of Performance. His Broadway credits include Plenty,
The Homecoming, Enchanted April, High Society, and Misery.
Gerroll's television credits include Miami Vice, Burn Notice, Cheers,
Knots Landing, Seinfeld, Blue Bloods, Sex and the City,
Law & Order and The Starter Wife.
On film Gerroll has appeared in Chariots of Fire, Sir
Henry at Rawlinson End, 84 Charing Cross Road, Drop Dead Fred and
Big Business. He played Bronson Alcott in scenes from the writer's
life in the documentary profile "Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind
'Little Women'" that aired on the PBS series America Masters.
