Produktbeschreibung

Disgraced and destitute following a fraud scandal and imprisonment, John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs, his family is trapped in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a household bound for explosion.

A scorching indictment of 19th century capitalism, Ibsen's penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition.

The play has its premiere in this new version by David Eldridge on 15 February 2007 at the Donmar Warehouse, London.

Autorenporträt

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) has been described as 'the father of modern theatre'. Most of his early plays were traditional historical dramas. After 'Peer Gynt', a fairy-tale fantasy in verse, Ibsen wrote the rest of his plays in prose, and came to be regarded as the great Naturalist dramatist.
