Description

Richard Eyre's version of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts is a powerful portrayal of a woman's struggle for emotional freedom. Helene Alving has spent her life trapped in an emotional void after the death of her husband, and she is determined to escape by revealing the truth about his past to her son Oswald. However, when Oswald returns from France, he reveals that he has inherited the legacy of Alving's dissolute life. This edition includes an introduction by Richard Eyre, which provides a fresh perspective on the play. With its raw emotion and unsparing honesty, Ghosts is a deeply affecting work that explores the complexities of human relationships. This stripped-down 90-minute version of the play showcases Eyre's skill as a director, holding the audience in its grip throughout.
