Publisher's Synopsis
Henrik Ibsen was a 19th-century Norwegian playwright who is credited with being perhaps the biggest contributor to Modern theatre. Ibsen wrote many classic plays, such as A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, and An Enemy of the People, and he is still the most widely performed playwright after Shakespeare. Ghosts was first performed in Chicago, Illinois in 1882. The play is notable for its harsh commentary of late 19th-century morality. Ghosts was controversial at the time of its release but is now recognized as one of the most important plays of its time.
