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.
