Ghosts is Ibsen's haunting study of the lingering poison in a marriage based on a lie.
Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet whose realistic, symbolic and often controversial plays revolutionised European theatre. He is widely regarded as the father of modern drama. His acclaimed plays include A Doll's House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, An Enemy of the People and The Pillars of the Community. His centenary is celebrated in 2006. Amelia Bullmore's first play Mammals was produced at the Bush Theatre in 2005 and subsequently toured nationally in 2006.
