by Henrik Ibsen, translated from the Norwegian by Michael Meyer
with Ian MeKellen, Susan Fleetwood, Michael Gough, David Buck and Sheila Reid

First performed at the Royal Theatre, Copenhagen, on 21 December 1879, the message of this play - that marriage is not sacrosanct, that man's authority in his home should not go unchallenged and that the prime duty of anyone is to find out who he or she really is and to become that person - is almost as explosive today as it was just over 100 years ago.
