    About this ebook

    Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price

    Ibsen's great play about idealism and liberalism undermined by a deeply conservative society.

    When Rosmer abandons his faith after the death of his wife, his former friends question his morality. But with guilty secrets and deception surrounding everyone, there are tragic results.

    Henrik Ibsen's play Rosmersholm was first published in 1886 and first staged in 1887.

    This edition, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is translated by Kenneth McLeish, with an introduction by Stephen Mulrine.

    Author

    Henrik Ibsen

    Born in 1828, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often associated with the early Modernist movement in theatre. Determined to become a playwright from a young age, Ibsen began writing while working as an apprentice pharmacist to help support his family. Though his early plays were largely unsuccessful, Ibsen was able to take employment at a theatre where he worked as a writer, director, and producer. Ibsen’s first success came with Brand and Peter Gynt, and with later plays like A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and The Master Builder he became one of the most performed playwrights in the world, second only to William Shakespeare. Ibsen died in his home in Norway in 1906 at the age of 78.

      Duke of Yorks, London. Felt the ending didn't quite fit with the tone of the remainder of the play but this was surprisingly gripping - very relevant to today, or at least this adaptation was, with its frequent allusions to politics, privilege and media. Hayley Atwell excellent as the proto-feminist Rebecca West, Tom Burke less so in his semi-titular role as the faithless and inert Rosmer - a bit too ACTING.

      Interesting perspective on love, relationships, and sociology, but not overly captivating. The end was uninspiring.
