The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen. Adapted by David Hare. Based on a literal translation by Torkil Heggstad.
Episode 2.

The Master Builder Halvard Solness is infatuated with the new arrival at his house - the mysterious Hilde Wangel. He feels she is a breath of fresh air in his arid emotional life. He has told her everything about the guilt and pain in his marriage. And Hilde flatters and rebuilds his ego. She is back to claim the promise Solness made to her ten years previously when she was thirteen. The concluding part of Henrik Ibsen's searing tale of middle aged hubris, with mystical undertones and resonances for the #MeToo movement.
