Rosmersholm

Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price

Ibsen's great play about idealism and liberalism undermined by a deeply conservative society.

When Rosmer abandons his faith after the death of his wife, his former friends question his morality. But with guilty secrets and deception surrounding everyone, there are tragic results.

Henrik Ibsen's play Rosmersholm was first published in 1886 and first staged in 1887.

This edition, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is translated by Kenneth McLeish, with an introduction by Stephen Mulrine.
