The space in which the drama takes place will, as the story or drama text is created, come to represent the location of the drama. It is important that readers are encouraged to develop the imaginative flexibility to exploit the drama space and the objects it contains in order to extend and deepen the reality of the drama. The place within dramas always reflects a certain perspective on reality and the human. In this study I try to research the space within Scandinavian plays after Henrik Ibsen and contemporary Swedish dramatist August
Strindberg. The space for Ibsen's and Strindberg's drama to take place was the drawing room. But the contemporary plays in the Scandinavian countries moves onto completely different ground, away from the drawing room and out into the streets or the landscapes, that
is out into a bigger and more open space. The drama space is carefully marked out into different locations or times in the play. In Scandinavian dramas, the space is the very important element of choice that constitutes the dynamic of change and development. It arises from the conflicting demands of two (or more) desires, ideas or needs and engenders the need for decision. A
key space in the Scandinavian plays such as a particular room or landscape constitutes a framework around the character as an active dramatic element. In doing this, the space contribute to maintaining the focus of the story as it develops in the drama.
