Ghosts

Author of A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen not only tackled scandals, he created them. Ghosts’ scathing commentary on 19th century morality sparked a fury when it was first produced. In this translation by American icon Lanford Wilson (Burn This), Ibsen’s tale of mothers and sons, moral hypocrisy, and the dangers of secrets passed from one generation to the next remains as incendiary as ever.
