Ibsen’s Ghosts with Lesley Sharp

Lesley Sharp features in the new Frank McGuinness version of Henrick Ibsen’s ‘Ghosts’ at the Duchess Theatre. The ‘The Rise and Fall of Little Voice’ star plays ‘Mrs Alving’ in the new production. Iain Glen makes his directorial debut, as well as playing Alving family confidant ‘Pastor Manders’.

Mrs Alving is preparing to open an orphanage dedicated to her dead husband. She is hiding the troubles of her marriage; in particular her late husband’s philandering. Her son Osvald, an artist, returns home for the opening. Slowly the ghosts of the father’s past creep into the present, threatening to tear apart the family for good.
