GHOSTS
By Henrik Ibsen
Adaptation by Richard Eyre
Directed by Mathew Wright
Illuminated with fresh poetry and dark humor in a stunning new adaptation from acclaimed British director Richard Eyre, Henrik Ibsen’s GHOSTS was seen as a 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 is presented in the round. To accommodate seating on all sides a northside seating section has been created. This section consists of three raked rows with a small aisle in the center. Seating in this section is not reserved as there was not time to build this into our ticketing system, however: northside seats are the best in the house. To choose seats in the northside section, choose that option from the ticketing list for GHOSTS and enter in the number of seats you require.

Death of a Salesman
Apr 28 – May 29 2016
Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
April 28 – May 29, 2016
Under the direction of ArtsWest’s Artistic Director Mathew Wright, Arthur Miller is brought to the stage in a stripped down, elegant and savage production of a tragic love story between father and son. This thrilling work lays bare the raw emotions of love, the desire for success, and the need for compassion in a horror story of shame, guilt and expectations run amok.
Death of a Salesman tells the story of the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman, who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. A thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre.
