Henrik Ibsen’s
THE WILD DUCK
April 4 - 29, 2018
The idealistic son of a wealthy businessman seeks to destroy his philandering father’s reputation by exposing an ancient extramarital affair. He also seeks, by means of this revelation, to free his childhood friend from the delusions and lies on which a happy marriage is based. Meanwhile, an ambitious young inventor spends so much of his time and energy trying to devise an invention which will make him rich that he is unaware of the true richness of his daily life. Does truth or money set us free, and should it be pursued whatever the cost? Or is it better to enjoy life’s simple joys and to allow the past and its secrets to remain buried.
Performed in rotating repertory with Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
Run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes
