About this ebook
Duncan Macmillan's stunning and resonant adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Rosmersholm. This revival of a masterpiece charts love, politics, past and future, with plenty of twists thrown in for good measure.
Rosmersholm is positioned against the backdrop of a looming election, an atmosphere of uncertainty and a bloodthirsty press. In the grand house of an influential dynasty, John Rosmer holds the future in his hands. As he wanders the line between idealism and a painful past, he finds himself ever more torn.
Award-winning writer and director Duncan Macmillan has a glittering resume of stage works to his name, including the highly acclaimed People Places and Things and Every Brilliant Thing. He has accrued an array of awards throughout his career and has twice been nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Play.

Reviews for Rosmersholm

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Duke of Yorks, London. Felt the ending didn't quite fit with the tone of the remainder of the play but this was surprisingly gripping - very relevant to today, or at least this adaptation was, with its frequent allusions to politics, privilege and media. Hayley Atwell excellent as the proto-feminist Rebecca West, Tom Burke less so in his semi-titular role as the faithless and inert Rosmer - a bit too ACTING.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting perspective on love, relationships, and sociology, but not overly captivating. The end was uninspiring.
