Master Olof by August Strindberg

Set in 16th-century Sweden, the drama follows a fervent preacher whose fiery push for religious reform and insistence on speaking truth to power pit him against entrenched church and secular authorities; his moral zeal galvanizes supporters but alienates allies and loved ones, turning a quest for spiritual renewal into a tragic confrontation between conscience, political maneuvering, and the personal costs of uncompromising idealism.
