The Master Builder

"The Master Builder" by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by David Hare, follows Halvard Solness, an ambitious self-made architect whose success has come at the cost of personal relationships and emotional turmoil. Haunted by guilt and fear of displacement, Solness's life takes a dramatic turn when Hilde Wangel, a mysterious young woman, reappears, claiming their past encounter. With themes resonant of middle-aged male hubris and contemporary issues like the #MeToo movement, this tragedy delves into the complexities of ambition, power, and vulnerability. The production features a talented cast, including David Schofield as Solness, and is accompanied by a bonus discussion program on Ibsen's legacy.
