ghosts • a translation and adaptation

by Henrik Ibsen

Adapted and Translated by Eric Samuelsen

(For production by Professional Groups, College/University Groups, Community Groups, and High Schools)

Mrs. Alving has spent her life meticulously creating the fantasy of a happy home and family and marriage, which explodes in revelations of sexually transmitted diseases, suicide and insanity. Quite possibly the most radical play in history.

Mature themes and mild language are present in the play.
