Abbey Theatre / Events / Thu 10 to Sat 19 Oct 2013 (1 week)
The Master Builder
Halvar Solness is at the top of his architectural career. Fearing the next generation might eclipse his success, he exerts control over everyone around him. Into his life bursts young Hilde, who demands he build her the kingdom he promised her as a child. Enraptured by her youth and vivacity, the balance of power that Solness has been so careful to preserve starts to shift.
Ibsen’s timeless classic is presented by the Company of Ten in a new version by David Edgar, famed for his stage adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. The Stage described this as ‘accessible’ and ‘a racy modern makeover’. The production promises to explore the conflict between youth and age, and how infatuation can be a potent danger even in our failing years.
Performances at 8pm, with a matinee on Sunday 13 October at 2.30pm
Tickets: £10.25 - £12.25 (concessions £9.25 - £11.25)
