Ibsen Plays 2 [Doll’s House, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler]

Title: Ibsen Plays 2 [Doll's House, An Enemy of the People, Hedda Gabler]
Author: Ibsen, Henrik
Price: $29.95

This volume contains Ibsen's two most famous and frequently read, studied and performed plays about women: A Doll's House (1879), his first international success, which 'exploded like a bomb into contemporary life', and Hedda Gabler (1890), now one of his most popular plays, but greeted at first with bewilderment and outrage ('The play is simply a bad escape of moral sewage-gas' Pictorial World). Also included is An Enemy of the People (1883), whose central character was the actor Konstantin Stanislavski's favourite role.

Michael Meyer's translations are 'crisp and cobweb-free, purged of verbal Victoriana' (Kenneth Tynan)

CONTENTS: A Doll's House; An Enemy of the People; Hedda Gabler
