Chambonnii'res Chaconne and Rondeau
Dumont Pavane in D minor
Rameau suite No 2, in E minor
by Henrik Ibsen translated from the Norwegian by Michael Meyer
with Brian Cox as Brand, Anna Calder-Marshall as Agnes, Hector Ross as the Mayor, Michael Aldridge as the Provost, Martin Jarvis as Ejnar, Alethea Charlton as Gerd, Pauline Letts as Brand's mother, Trevor Martin as a villager.
How far should a man pursue his beliefs? Brand, in his search for God, has always demanded 'all or nothing' from himself and those around him - but where does one stop? With the death of loved ones? With personal humiliation? Or will one be finally forced to abandon those beliefs?
The play is set among the fjords and mountains of Norway in the late 19th century.
