Apie šią el. knygą
When you spend your life in thrall to a monster you find yourself trying to make monstrous things somehow bearable.
Helena is a woman on a mission. Since the death of her high-flying husband, she has dedicated herself to reclaiming his legacy. And her hard work is about to pay off, with a new children's hospital bearing his name on the brink of opening.
But when their son Oz returns to the family home for the grand unveiling, he has ambitions of his own. Ambitions that threaten to unravel their family's most tightly kept secrets.
This edition of Gary Owen's new play, a contemporary re-imagining of Ibsen's classic is published to coincide with the production run at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in Spring 2025.
