GHOSTS

Our October play is Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen, Adapted by Richard Eyre, directed by Ian Pring

 

Oswald, a young artist, returns to his home from Paris, carrying a hidden and deadly disease. His mother is opening an orphanage in memory of her late husband, a pillar of the community whose perversions were kept from public view. But the orphanage is uninsured and one of the builders is careless with matches…

​

Increasingly desperate, Oswald asks his mother to help him die when the time comes.

​

Ibsen’s play sparked moral outrage when it was first performed, and over 100 years later remains a visceral portrayal of the diseased side of the human condition.
