Halvard Solness, a leading architect at the height of his fame, is paralysed by fear. Fear of the younger generation. Fear of irrelevance. Fear of the past catching up with him.
When young, enigmatic Hilde Wangel bursts back into his world, she reminds him of the promise he made her ten years ago.
As she inspires him to even greater heights, Solness is forced to confront the true cost of his success. Will his final creation set him free, or be his downfall?
Greg Hicks stars, reuniting with Arcola’s Artistic Director Mehmet Ergen following sold-out productions An Enemy of The People and Richard III, in this bold new staging of Henrik Ibsen’s masterpiece about ambition and legacy.
