It is the eve of the opening of the foundling home dedicated to the
memory of Chamberlain Alving, a great man who did great things and of
whom everyone only has great memories. Except that isn't actually
true. His widow, Mrs. Alving has spent all of her married life and
all of her widowhood hiding who the Chamberlain really was, but lies
are like ghosts, they haunt the present and cannot be exorcized
simply by pretending that they aren't there. As the dedication draws
nearer, the legacy of lies comes to an end, but is it too late? Have
the lies burned the souls of the Alving family beyond
recognition? Can there be salvation for the innocent or must they
suffer the sins of their fathers?
Henrick Ibsen's 1891 play is startlingly modern even today, with its
frank defense of free love and condemnation of the power of the
church, there is nothing quaint or old-fashioned about it.
No performance on Saturday, March 29th.
