JOHN GABRIEL BORKMAN

By Henrik Ibsen New Version by David Eldridge
15 February – 14 April 2007

Disgraced and destitute following a fraud scandal and imprisonment, John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs his family are trapped in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a household bound for explosion.

Henrik Ibsen’s penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition and offers a scorching indictment of 19th century capitalism.
