Henrik Ibsen

‘The spectacles of experience; through them you will see clearly a second time’.

Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906) was a Norwegian playwright and a major influence on modern drama. He was considered a master of representing his characters in a psychologically truthful way, for his use of irony and his exploration of contentious issues in society. His plays demonstrated a heightened realism in theatre and were considered to be very controversial during his time.
