FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ghosts is Ibsens haunting study of the lingering poison in a marriage based on a lie. Osvald Alving has returned from Paris to his mothers home, carrying with him a dreadful secret. His mothers delight at having him home soon turns to horror and grief. The corruption that she had hoped to spare him from when sending him away from the influence of his depraved father has in fact infected his whole body in the form of syphillis. In Mrs Alving and her sons distrust of conventional religion and mores and Oswalds anguish with life, Ibsen created a thoroughly modern and provocative work. It created widespread outrage and shock when first produced in 1881. It is presented by the Gate Theatre, London, in a new version by Amelia Bullmore, directed by the Anna Mackmin, in January and February 2007.
