New light shines in a dark house—passion and hope burst into a stagnant world through an older man’s love for a crusading young woman who dreams of a new egalitarian society. But a secret lurks in the shadows, one that could end their crusade before it begins. Emotionally charged, politically provocative, Ibsen’s haunting ROSMERSHOLM, tells of democratic ideals tested by harsh realities, friends turned enemies, and a terrible price yet to be paid.
