What is Peter Gynt : after Henrik Ibsen about?

<p>In this radical new version of <i>Peer Gynt</i>, David Hare kidnaps Henrik Ibsen's most famous hero and runs away with him into the twenty-first century.</p><p>Stripped of fretwork and greenery, the play is projected into a freewheeling modern world of music, dance, poetry, weddings, coronations, trolls and two-headed children as Peter steals a bride and embarks on an extraordinary lifetime's journey before returning home, finally, to Scotland.</p><p>David Hare's<i> Peter Gynt</i> posits the same fundamental question the great Norwegian asked in 1867: does a belief in individualism help or hinder us in trying to live purposefully in the present day?</p><p>The play opens at the National Theatre in July 2019 and transfers to the Festival Theatre Edinburgh, for the Edinburgh International Festival.</p>
