Absorbing, Thought-provoking, Must see, Great acting, Great staging

See it if to experience great theatre with exceptional acting from Jeremy Strong and the cast set in 19th century small town in Norway.Relevant themes

Don't see it if you are unable to sit for two hours without intermission (although there is a pause). Must see, but hard to get tickets.

Refreshing, Masterful, Intelligent, Great staging, Great acting

See it if I swore that I would never see anything Ibsen again. I am so glad that I forgot that promise to myself.

Don't see it if You do not want to see an amazing performance by Jeremy Strong. He creates his own world on stage. Absolutely remarkable.
