Henrik Ibsen's ROSMERSHOLM

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre presents ROSMERSHOLM By Henrik Ibsen | Translation by Rolf Fjelde | Directed by Bryn Boice | December 9-13 Johannes Rosmer, a former clergyman, lives peacefully now that his wife Beata is dead. Life at his family estate is free, thoughtful, and full of new, liberal ideas, thanks to Rebecca West–Beata’s companion who has conspicuously stayed on at Rosmersholm after her death. But when Dr. Kroll pays an overdue visit to enlist Rosmer’s help on behalf of the dying Conservative party, Rosmer and Rebecca’s plan for a new Free Will gets swept aside in a torrent of rumors, scandalous admissions, and the premonitory return of the town specter, the White Horse of Rosmersholm. Ibsen’s rarely produced masterpiece begs the question, "Do the dead control us?" Approximate Running Time: 2 hours. Please be advised that there will be no late seating for this production. All performances will begin at the scheduled curtain time.$12 General Public | $10 BU Alumni, WGBH and WBUR members, Huntington Subscribers | $6 CFA Members | Free with BU ID, at the door, day of performance, subject to availability | bostontheatrescene.com | 617-933-8600
