Description
Henrik Ibsen's 'Ghosts' is a play that takes on 19th-century morality with a fierce and unyielding hand. Set in Norway, the play follows Helen Alving as she grapples with the ghosts of her past and the consequences of keeping quiet. Despite her husband's many affairs, Helen stayed with him for fear of being shunned by society and to protect her son Oswald from scandal. But as the truth about her family is revealed -- including incest, venereal disease, and euthanasia -- she realizes that her silence may have caused more harm than good. A scathing commentary on societal expectations and personal responsibility, 'Ghosts' is a powerful exploration of the human condition that still resonates today.
