Disgraced and destitute following a fraud scandal and imprisonment, John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an attic room, a nightmare to those below. Downstairs his wife and former mistress--who happens to be her sister--are in for a dark and stormy night. A scorching indictment of 19th-century capitalism, Ibsen's play could be ripped from today's headlines. JGB provides a tour-de-force for three mature actors and a cautionary message for modern audiences about how unbridled lust for money and power can make you crazy.
Discounted tickets for students ($17) and faculty ($30).
