Master Builder (Gosse & Archer Translation)

by Henrik Ibsen

The Master Builder follows Halvard Solness, a successful architect grappling with the consequences of his ambitious and ruthless rise to prominence. Haunted by guilt and fear, he struggles with his past choices, a gnawing feeling of being in league with dark forces. His complex relationships with his wife, his mistress, and the enigmatic Hilda Wangel, a woman claiming a connection to his past, complicate his already precarious mental state. The play explores themes of ambition, guilt, power, and the fragile nature of identity.
