Not your grandfather’s Ibsen! Before he wrote his celebrated realist plays, Ibsen penned this sprawling, epic masterwork - wondering himself if it could ever be staged. Escaping the stifling village life around him, a young man sets out to prove himself, and encounters lust, love, riches, madness, adulation, self-betrayal, some royal trolls, the fabled Sphinx, the devil himself, his own limitations, and a chance for redemption. Like nothing written before or since, the play celebrates the energy and vitality of Romanticism while skewering its excesses. It continues to challenge and enliven our theatre and our lives.
