John Gabriel Borkman, Paperback / softback Book

John Gabriel Borkman Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Classic Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

John Gabriel Borkman, once an illustrious entrepreneur, has been brought low by a prison sentence for fraud.

As he paces alone in an upstairs room, bankrupt and disgraced, he is obsessed by dreams of his comeback. Downstairs, his estranged wife plots the restoration of the family name.

When her sister arrives unannounced, she triggers a desperate showdown with the past. Henrik Ibsen's most contemporary play and his penultimate, John Gabriel Borkman is gripping, penetrating and savagely funny.

This version by Lucinda Coxon premiered at the Bridge Theatre, London, in September 2022, directed by Nicholas Hytner, with a cast led by Clare Higgins, Simon Russell Beale and Lia Williams.
