One of Ibsen’s earliest plays, Peer Gynt has been described as a “photo-existentialist” work. It’s the tale of a man’s lifelong search for self, or as theatre scholar Klaus van den Berg puts it: “If you lie; are you real?”
The many interpretations of this text over the years are only possible because of the timelessness of Peer’s journey to enlightenment.
