A Doll's House, Men of Honour, When We Dead Awaken
'Oh, be not afraid. I am cast out of society, but you, is it not true, you walk around as a man of honour? What more do you want?' (Laura Kieler, Men of Honour) Very few readers and audiences know that Ibsen's iconic feminist drama A Doll's House was built upon the real-life story of a woman called Laura Kieler, who was his friend and fellow writer. Her life fell apart when A Doll's House came out and the world saw her deeply private life splashed across its stages. With tremendous determination and perseverance, she managed to recover from the trauma that Ibsen's play caused her, and channelled her pain into a successful play of her own called (pointedly) Men of Honour. The play, performed in Copenhagen in 1890, caused great debate and fierce controversy. Ibsen eventually responded to her play by likewise writing a drama: When We Dead Awaken, his final work. This new edition traces the conversation between Ibsen and Kieler through these plays, across almost two decades and brings
Ghosts
Ghosts is Ibsen's formidably realistic play about the effects of previous generations on the young, a stinging satire on contemporary Norwegian society and morality, and a haunting tragedy that, more than a century since it premiered, still retains its power to shock. In Ibsen's study of the lingering poison in a marriage based on a lie, Osvald Alving returns from Paris to his mother's home, carrying with him a dreadful secret. His mother's delight at having him home soon turns to horror and grief. The corruption that she had hoped to spare him from when sending him away from the influence of his depraved father has in fact infected his whole body in the form of syphillis. In Mrs Alving and her son's distrust of conventional religion and mores and Oswald's anguish with life, Ibsen created a thoroughly modern and provocative work that created widespread outrage and shock when first produced in 1881. 'Meyer's translations of Ibsen are a major fact in one's general sense of post-war

A Doll's House
Nora Helmer is a dutiful young wife and mother of three children whose attempt to secure her family’s future may ultimately lead to its destruction. Ibsen’s play explores female identity and independence in a male dominated society. The Helmer family consists of Torvald and Nora, as well as three children: Ivar, Bobby and Emmy. From the outside, they appear to live a happy and idyllic life. Yet, a secret from Nora’s past threatens to destroy everything she loves. One of Torvald’s employees blackmails Nora, hoping she can influence her husband in the workplace. When she doesn’t succeed, Torvald is informed of her misdeeds. This leads to a life-changing confrontation that forces Nora to reevaluate her marriage and desire for a family. A Doll's House a one of Ibsen’s most forward-thinking plays. It was deemed scandalous for its depiction of a wife who prioritizes her own well-being over others. It’s an insightful examination of how gender roles dominated nineteenth century Europe. With

Peer Gynt
Den norske dramatiker Henrik Ibsens (1828-1906) monumentale digterværk Peer Gynt fra 1867 er i en vis forstand en kolos på letbenede versefødder. Et vildt og stærkt epos, der indimellem løber løbsk, som knopskyder i alle mulige og umulige retninger, ja, som faktisk sine steder – ikke mindst i 4. handling – bliver decideret syret og efterlader sin læser lettere stakåndet og perpleks. Inde bag de mange kunstfærdige lag, der i nogen grad griber tilbage til gammelt sagnstof befolket af trolde, nisser, elverfolk og andre overnaturlige væsner, gemmer sig et psykologisk drama, der gentager evigt aktuelle temaer. Selv om vi slet ikke får hele forhistorien om Peers tidlige barndom, har vi nok til at sammenfatte, at Peers far, Jon Gynt, har svigtet sin kone og sit barn og formøblet familiens formue på svir, overilede investeringer og ekstravagant ødselhed. Da pengene er brugt op, forlader faren sin kone og sit barn, og med faldet ned i fattigdommen og den sociale elendighed forsvinder alle
