We’re all so frightened of burrowing up into the light – Helene Alving

Join ArtsWest as the season opens with acclaimed British director Richard Eyre’s stunning adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s GHOSTS. Described as scandalous work when it was first performed in 1892, the story follows widow Helene Alving as she tries to start her life anew after the death of her philandering husband. She is determined that her son will not follow his father’s footsteps, but when Oswald returns from France, she discovers that she may be too late.

“Ghosts remains the great historical example of a single play’s power to disturb.” – The New York Times
