THE MASTER BUILDER
Henrik Ibsen
| Solness, the master builder of the title, is a self-made and successful businessman. He has stopped building the churches and towers of his youth in order to concentrate on ordinary houses for people, ever since the home his wife inherited burnt down with their own children inside. His guilty feelings of worthlessness spur him into absurd power struggles in his office, but he is forced to face his guilt when the provocative Hilde arrives with her story from the past... Translated and introduced by Kenneth McLeish. |
