About This Book

The three-act drama unfolds in garden-party and domestic settings where guests trade songs, witty conversation, and sharp monologues about love, art, and social expectation. A charismatic advocate of passionate, spontaneous affection collides with voices defending prudent, orderly household life and conventional courtship, producing satire of romantic idealism and bourgeois marriage. Alternating lyrical interludes and polemical debate, the play forces characters to confront the costs of desire, compromise, and social respectability and closes with a defiant appeal to personal freedom in matters of the heart.

About the Author

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often regarded as the father of modern drama. His works challenged the conventions of 19th-century theatre and explored complex social issues, particularly concerning morality, gender roles, and individual freedom. Ibsen is best known for his groundbreaking play "A Doll's House," which critiques the limitations placed on women in society. Other notable works include "Ghosts," which addresses themes of heredity and societal hypocrisy, and "Hedda Gabler," a study of a woman's struggle against societal expectations. Ibsen's influence extends beyond his time, shaping contemporary theatre and inspiring countless playwrights.
