Peer Gynt

This five act play was based on the Norwegian fairy tale, Per Gynt, and broke down the structural barriers of Norwegian theatre, as Ibsen wrote the entire play in verse-for. Peer Gynt drifts between the conscious and unconscious, blending realism and folkloric fantasy, Ibsen used this play to satirize trandescentalist ideas, new and revolutionary at the time, that encouraged a return to nature and simplicity. This play was incredibly controversial at the time it was writen, and holds true to its evocative nature today.
