CANADIAN PREMIERE
[Subscriptions on sale now! Single tickets on sale June 3]
An election looming. A country on the brink. A rabid press baying for blood. At the center of the storm stands John Rosmer, the heir to an influential family dynasty. Enter the mysterious Rebecca West, bringing the winds of change to Rosmersholm with the force of a hurricane. As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, the very foundations of power tremble, and the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.
Though rarely produced, “Ibsen’s masterpiece,” (Michael Billington, 2008) remains an essential work in Ibsen’s oeuvre.
The cast includes Virgilia Griffith (Queen Goneril) as Rebecca West, Jonathon Young (Bettrofenheit) as John Rosmer, Ben Carlson as Andreas Kroll, and Diego Matamoros as Ulrik Brendel.
Duncan Macmillan is an acclaimed English playwright renowned for such plays as Lungs, People Places and Things, and Every Brilliant Thing. Chris Abraham is the Artistic Director of Crow’s Theatre.
Nominated for five Laurence Olivier Awards. “Grippingly modern. A treat. Four Stars.” The Telegraph
“A sexually charged study of faith and heartbreak. Four Stars.” The Guardian
“Extraordinarily evocative. Four Stars.” The Times
