First staged in 1882, this updated adaptation brings Ibsen’s scathing commentary of morality into the 1920s aristocracy.
Helen Alving is dedicating an orphanage to the memory of her late husband Captain Alving. She is desperate to conceal his philandering past, and to protect their only son, Oswald, from his father’s legacy.
As Oswald’s nature begins to feel all too familiar, any hope of success is reduced to ashes and it becomes clear that there are some legacies which cannot be hidden.
