Ghosts" is the story of Helen Alving, a widow who is haunted by the many mistresses of her deceased husband and by her son who has inherited syphilis from his philandering father. "Ghosts" is a scathing indictment of Victorian society in which Ibsen refutes the notion that if one simply fulfills one's duty rather than following one's desires then a good and noble life will be achieved. Scandalous in its day for its frank discussion of venereal disease and marriage infidelity, "Ghosts" remains to this day an intense psychological drama and sharp social criticism.

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906), the Norwegian playwright and theatre director, is hailed as "the father of realism" and one of the most influential figures in modern theatre. His repertoire includes seminal works like "A Doll's House," a groundbreaking play that challenged societal norms. Set in a bourgeois environment, it scrutinizes gender roles and marriage conventions. Ibsen's impact extends globally; his plays, written in Dano-Norwegian, have shaped the works of renowned authors like George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. He is recognised as a modernist pioneer as well as "the father of realism" in play.
