Definitive versions of four classic works from the father of modern drama
The foremost dramatist of his age, Henrik Ibsen changed theater forever with his realistic dialogue, his depiction of contemporary social problems, and his probing of characters' inner lives. The four plays collected here—Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Lady From the Sea, and John Gabriel Borkman—are charged with Ibsen's insights into human relationships and reflect his fascination with the frontiers of human development.
Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) is often called “the Father of Modern Drama.” Born in Norway in 1828, he enjoyed successes with the verse dramas Brand and Peer Gynt before embarking on his great 12-play cycle of society dramas, which included A Doll’s House and Ghosts. After 21 years of self-imposed exile in Italy and Germany, Ibsen died in Norway.
