Peer Gynt

By Henrick Ibsen
Translation by Rolf Fjelde

Directed by Mark Kittlaus

Incidental music and sound design by Thomas Albert

September 22-25
Based on a Norwegian fairy tale, Peer Gynt revolves around one man’s lifelong search for fame, identity and true love. Not originally written for the confines of the stage, this larger than life, globe-trotting tale represents Ibsen’s vision of the human transition: mythic man into modern man. Filled with unexpected music, humor and violence, this story belongs among the greatest literary identity journeys of all time.
