Ghosts
by Henrik Ibsen
in a new version by Niclas Olson
|
Years after her husband’s death, Helene Alving is preparing to open an orphanage in his honor. With the arrival of an old friend, Pastor Manders, and her son, Oswald, the carefully guarded secrets Mrs. Alving has been keeping about her husband begin to unravel. As the sins of the father, and their consequences, become painfully clear, Mrs. Alving is left to question her life, her relationships, and whether or not she will ever be able to escape the spectres of the past. Adapted for performance by playwright Niclas Olson, Ibsen’s GHOSTS is revived in a powerful and startling new version. (3M, 2W)
GHOSTS had its world premiere on May 5, 2016 at the Dukesbay Theater in Tacoma, in a production by New Muses Theatre Company. It was directed and designed by Niclas Olson. Sound was by Bethany Bevier. The board operator was Erinne Kellogg.
