Description: A new translation of Ibsen's masterpiece, for a production inspired by Edvard Munch's stage designs for a 1906 Berlin production.
Brief description: Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) has been described as 'the father of modern theatre'. Most of his early plays were traditional historical dramas. After 'Peer Gynt', a fairy-tale fantasy in verse, Ibsen wrote the rest of his plays in prose, and came to be regarded as the great Naturalist dramatist.
