Richard Eyre's version of Ibsen's Ghosts is a fresh and vivid depiction of a woman who yearns for emotional and sexual freedom, but who is too timid to achieve it. Helene Alving has spent her life suspended in an emotional void after the death of her cruel but outwardly charming husband. She is determined to escape the ghosts of her past by telling her son, Oswald, the truth about his father. But on his return from his life as a painter in France, Oswald reveals how he has already inherited the legacy of Alving's dissolute life. Richard Eyre's version of Ghosts was first staged at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2013. This edition contains an introduction to the play by Richard Eyre.

Henrik Ibsen

Autor

Skien, 1828 – Cristianía (Oslo), 1906. Dramaturgo noruego, considerado uno de los renovadores del teatro universal. Desde joven fue un librepensador. Eligió no vivir en el ambiente luterano y conservador de Cristianía y en 1864 inició un exilio voluntario de 27 años por Italia y Alemania, período durante el cual escribió el grueso de su obra. Regresó a Noruega a los 63 años y falleció en 1906, siendo enterrado con honores de jefe de Estado. Ibsen es reconocido en todo el mundo como el padre del drama moderno. El verdadero éxito le llegó con Casa de muñecas (1879). En su época, sus obras fueron consideradas escandalosas por una sociedad dominada por los valores victorianos, al cuestionar el modelo de familia y de sociedad dominantes. Sus obras no han perdido vigencia y es uno de los autores no contemporáneos más representados en la actualidad. El teatro de Ibsen influyó en otros autores de su tiempo como en los entonces jóvenes Strindberg y Chéjov.
