Ghosts

By Henrik Ibsen

Most families have their dramas. This drama has one hell of a family.

From the author of Hedda Gabler and A Doll’s House comes one of his most powerful and controversial plays.


How far will someone go in order to leave the past behind and move into the future?


Mrs Alving is preparing for the opening of an orphanage in memory of her late husband. Her son’s return to the family home brings with it echoes of the past she is desperate to forget.


The founder of modern prose drama, Ibsen wrote what has become a radical classic, a play of great power. It’s a provincial tragedy, the tale of a world where outer horizons are minute and inner ones infinite, a fatalistic drama for a new age, one in which biology and psychology take over the role of the gods.



Ghosts runs approximately 100 minutes with no interval.

By The New York Times

“The embittered 20th-century housewife of The Graduate might indeed enjoy chatting with the thwarted 19th-century heroine of Ghosts.”
