Tribadernas natt: ett skådespel från 1889
Dagmarteatern i Köpenhamn, en marskväll 1889. Fyra personer ska tillsammans repetera en enaktare av August Strindberg, men av repetitionen blir intet. Det som följer är en uppgörelse på liv och död. Där är Strindberg själv. Där är hans hustru Siri von Essen; de ligger i skilsmässa. Där är Siris väninna Marie David. Där är den danske skådespelaren Viggo Schiwe. Den pjäsen repeterar bygger i grunden på deras liv. Uppgörelsen gäller verkligheten, deras och vår.

After a degree in History of literature at Uppsala University he worked as a newspaper columnist and TV debate moderator from 1965 to 1976.

He has been working as an independent writer since 1977.
Enquist's works are characterized by a chronic pessimistic view of the world. They always describe the restrictions imposed by the pietistical way of living, especially in March of the Musicians (1978) and Lewi's Journey (2001). He gained international recognition with his novel The Visit of The Royal Physician (1999) where he tells the story of Struensee, the personal physician of the Danish King Christian VII.

Man saknar P O Enquist. Den här pjäsen är kanske det bästa han skrivit.
