About Author

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. He is often referred to as "the god father" of modern drama and is one of the founders of Modernism in the theatre.His plays were considered scandalous to many of his era, when Victorian values of family life and propriety largely held sway in Europe. Ibsen's work examined the realities that lay behind many facades, possessing a revelatory nature that was disquieting to many contemporaries. It utilized a critical eye and free inquiry into the conditions of life and issues of morality. Ibsen is often ranked as one of the truly great playwrights in the European tradition, alongside Shakespeare. — [Wikipedia](

Gengangere

Henrik Ibsen

"This riveting family drama is a classic of the modern theatre. Oswald Alving returns for the dedication of the orphanage to his father's memory and has a flirtation with the family maid who, it turns out, is his father's illegitimate daughter. As the long-supressed truths collide, the orphanage is destroyed by fire, the maid deserts the family in disgust when she learns her true parentage, and Mrs. Alving is left alone to care for her hopelessly insane son who has fallen prey to the social disease that killed his father. The role of Mrs. Alving, considered one of the greatest in the modern repertoire, has been played by Liv Ullman, Geraldine Page, Eva Le Galliene, Mrs. Fiske, Alla Nazimova and Eleonora Duse." --Publisher description.

Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder

Bertolt Brecht
4.1 (8)
88

Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder wurde in Skandinavien vor dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkrieges geschrieben (1938/39) und am 19. April 1941 am Schauspielhaus Zuerich uraufgefuehrt. "Was eine Affuehrung von Mutter Courage", schrieb Brecht einmal, "hauptsaechlich zeigen soll: Dass die grossen Geschaefte in den Kriegen nicht von den kleinen Leuten gemacht werden. Dass der Krieg, der eine Fortfuehrung der Geschaefte mit anderen Mitteln ist, die menschlichen Tugenden toedlich macht, auch fuer ihre Besitzer. Dass er darum bekaempft werden muss." "Mutter Courage ist Brechts Meisterwerk. Es ist wirklich das politische Drama, in einem absoluten Sinn verstanden, wie Schillers oder Grillparzers Drama: es ist im Grunde schon heute ein klassiches Drama. - Willy Haas - Flyleaf.
