Henrik Ibsen - The Man and the Mask

The Norwegian playwright behind such pivotal theatrical works as "Hedda Gabler" and "Peer Gynt" proves to have been sensitive, testy, difficult and prudish in life, directly in contrast to his liberated, empathetic and taboo-foregrounding work in this analysis of the connection between the man and the art from fellow-Norwegian Ivo De Figueiredo.
