Notes: | Original Playwright - Henrik Ibsen | |||||
Synopsis: | Extant Arts presents Ghosts, a retelling of Henrik Ibsen's groundbreaking drama through Nemonie Craven's bold and muscular new adaptation (commissioned especially for this production). Director Sophie Hunter leads a dynamic cast and an international award-winning creative team from the worlds of opera, Broadway, film, and installation art in transforming this 19th-century Norwegian classic into a timeless and searing piece of theatre. Ghosts is a play of threatening, disturbing energies which unfolds on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the death of respected public benefactor John Alving. In welcoming back to the family home her estranged son Oswald and her former Pastor, Helene Alving must confront the ghosts that continue, fatally, to determine her existence and that of others. Ghosts provides the template for all modern horror films concerned with the bourgeois family under threat, from Stanley Kubrick to Michael Haneke. | |||||
