Ghosts

Mrs Alving is making preparations for the opening of an orphanage- a memorial to her late husband. Her son Oswald, an artist, returns home for the celebrations.

A deeply haunting saga of love, betrayal and hypocrisy gradually unfolds as ghosts from the past come back to haunt the living. Written in 1881, Ghosts is a study of the lingering poison in a marriage based on lies.

With its open discussion of taboo subjects - free love, incest and sexual disease - the play was banned in England until 1914. A landmark in the history of European drama, Ghosts remains starkly relevant today.
