A New Vic production

by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Richard Eyre

directed by Abbey Wright

Following its West End debut, the New Vic presents Richard Eyre’s acclaimed new version of Ibsen’s great play. A haunting tale of public virtue and private guilt it shocked audiences with its unflinching expose of a family’s secrets and lies.

Rich and much respected, the widowed Mrs Alving is enjoying a new lease of life. About to open an orphanage in honour of her dead husband, she is delighted when prodigal son, Oswald, returns home from his wild life in Paris.

But it’s impossible for her to escape the ghosts of the past as her son;s mystery illness and a series of shocking revelations threaten to shatter her happiness forever.
