Notă biografică

Lucinda Coxon is an English playwright and screenwriter. Her plays include: a version of Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman (Bridge Theatre, London, 2022); Alys, Always, adapted from the novel by Harriet Lane (Bridge Theatre, London, 2019); Herding Cats (Ustinov Theatre, Bath, 2010, & Hampstead Theatre, 2011); and Happy Now? (National Theatre, 2008). Her screenplays include The Danish Girl, The Crimson Petal and the White and The Little Stranger.

Born in Norway in 1828, Henrik Ibsen began his writing career with romantic history plays influenced by Shakespeare and Schiller. In 1851 he was appointed writer-in-residence at the newly established Norwegian Theatre in Bergen with a contract to write a play a year for five years, following which he was made Artistic Director of the Norwegian Theatre in what is now Oslo. In the 1860s he moved abroad to concentrate wholly on writing. He began with two mighty verse dramas, Brand and Peer Gynt, and in the 1870s and 1880s wrote the sequence of realistic 'problem' plays for which he is best known, among them A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler and Rosmersholm. His last four plays, The Master Builder, Little Eyolf, John Gabriel Borkman and When We Dead Awaken, dating from his return to Norway in the 1890s, are increasingly overlaid with symbolism. Illness forced him to retire in 1900, and he died in 1906 after a series of crippling strokes.


Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Disgraced and destitute following a fraud scandal and imprisonment, John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs, his family is trapped in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a household bound for explosion.

A scorching indictment of 19th century capitalism, Ibsen's penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition.

The play has its premiere in this new version by David Eldridge on 15 February 2007 at the Donmar Warehouse, London.
