Henrik Ibsen's Olaf Liljekrans is one of his first realist dramas in prose. Set one summer in a remote mountain district of Norway, two warring families come together to celebrate a matrimonial union of both of the Houses. However, all is not well when the groom, himself, disappears. A dark tale of great humour, showing uncorrupted nature set against a corrupt human society, Ibsen's Olaf can be seen as an early development of his later Master Builder.T0869476867Last presented at London's Adelphi Theatre in June 1911, Henrik Ibsen's Olaf is being performed for the first time in the United Kingdom in over 100 years.Company Ottisdotter.
