Shipbuilder Karsten Bernick is a respected, highly successful businessman in a small Norwegian coastal town but his wealth has been founded on a lie and now he is threatened with exposure. As the wily, unscrupulous Berniock struggles to preserve his standing in the community, he sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to destroy all he holds most dear.Samuel Adamson's highly-acclaimed new version of the Ibsen classic was presented at the National Theatre in 2005, directed by Marianne Elliott and starring Damian Lewis.
