Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts

As wealthy widow Mrs. Alving prepares to unveil a new orphanage in her late husband’s honor, long-buried secrets and controversies emerge that unsettle her life. The return of her son, Oswald, from Paris, and her connection with Pastor Manders complicate matters, turning once-joyful relationships into sources of tension. First published in 1881, Ibsen's powerful work boldly addresses taboo themes such as free love and familial discord, provoking a contentious response from contemporary audiences.
