When the seductive Rebecca West arrives at Rosmersholm, Johannes Rosmer's beliefs are thrown into turmoil.

A passionate love story. 

Two psycologically fascinating character studies.  A society divided between conservatism and a new democracy.  A portrait of idealism foundering in the modern world of journalistic spin and opportunism.  A story full of frightening twists.

A play believed by many to be Ibsen's dramatic masterpiece, in a new version by Mike Poulton.
