Henrik Ibsens wohl bekanntestes Stück behandelt das Schicksal der verheirateten Nora Helmer, die damit exemplarisch steht für viele verheiratete Frauen im Norwegen seiner Zeit, denen jedwede vernünftige Möglichkeit zur Selbstverwirklichung in einer von Männern dominierten Welt fehlte – obwohl Ibsen immer bestritt, dass es seine Absicht gewesen war, ein feministisches Stück zu schreiben. Das Werk erregte damals großes Aufsehen und löste einen Sturm der Entrüstung aus, der über das Theater hinaus...

Born in Skien, Norway in 1828, Henrik Ibsen has often been referred to as the founder of modern drama and modernism in theatre. Ibsen was widely known as an atheist and political radical, and channeled some of those sentiments into his works. «Peer Gynt» captures humankind's unsure, imperfect and opportunistic nature in many memorable scenes: a portrait so intimate and accurate that the play has become a classic in Norwegian literature. This five act play was based on the Norwegian fairy...
