Description: Opens October 29th and runs through November 7th, 2009. Presented by the UBC Department of Theatre and Film in co-production with Yorick Theatre, this is a new adaptation by UBC Professor Emeritus Errol Durbach, an Ibsen scholar whose award-winning adaptations of Ibsen plays over recent years have been critical hits.

Synopsis: A visitor from the past re-enters the life of Halvard Solness – a young woman who returns to claim the sexual promise made to her by Solness when she was thirteen. What she finds on her return is a burned out, guilt-ridden man at the end of what he thinks is a wasted career. Can he give her what she wants? And does she give him a new life or destroy him utterly? Ibsen leaves the answers open in this powerful psychological drama.
