A Norwegian farmer's son tries to escape reality with tall tales... He represses the fact that his father, the once highly respected Jon Gynt, has lost his farm and possessions through mismanagement and numerous alcoholic escapades. In Peer's fantasy world, the run-down dwelling is still a gleaming palace. He also transfigures his own uselessness into heroism. Peer is overprotected and glorified by his mother. In search of love and adventure, he soon finds himself in a world of trolls and demons
PEER GYNT by Henrik Ibsen invites you on a journey through life halfway around the world. A fantastic story full of wit and mischief, fear and horror. A picaresque play for young and old!
