520 | _aA scorching indictment of nineteenth century capitalism, Ibsen's penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition. John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs, his wife Gunhild waits for their son to vindicate the family name. They have lived on separate floors for eight years, following Borkman's imprisonment for fraud on an enormous scale. Gunhild's twin sister Ella, who was also in love with Borkman, arrives - she is dying, and comes to lay her claim to Erhart, the nephew whom she brought up during Borkman's incarceration. This version by David Eldridge premiered in 2007 at the Donmar Warehouse, London. | ||
