The Master Builder
by Henrik Ibsen in a translation by Kenneth McLeish
Fri 12 Nov 2010 - Sat 8 Jan 2011

“I came for my kingdom. Time’s up, Mr Solness!”

 

Master Builder Halvard Solness has reached the pinnacle of his career. But at a cost; his family life is in ruins and he lives in fear that the next generation will rise up and brush him aside.

 

When Hilde Wangel, a bewitching young woman, arrives to collect a decade-old debt, she breathes new life into his professional pride. As Solness completes his architectural masterpiece, will Hilde be the Master Builder’s ultimate downfall?
