Ibsen: Three Plays

USD $ 14,99

'I'm going to find out – which of us is right, society or me.' Henrik Ibsen's three great 'problem plays', A Doll's House, Ghosts and Hedda Gabler, challenged the conventions of nineteenth-century society and sparked a revolution in European theatre. Their female protagonists, Nora Helmer, Helene Alving and Hedda Gabler, continue to exert their power over modern audiences. This volume brings together all three plays in sensitive and playable translations from the original Norwegian, along with a full introduction to Ibsen, his times and his work. The Drama Classic Collections bring together the most popular plays from a single author or a particular period. They offer students, actors and theatregoers a series of uncluttered, accessible editions, accompanied by comprehensive introductions. Where the originals are in English, there is a glossary of unfamiliar words and phrases. Where the originals are in a foreign language, the translations aim to be both actable and accurate – and are made by translators whose work is regularly staged in the professional theatre.

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.
