Rosmersholm

Play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in the late 19th century.

Now I see that love is selfish. It makes you a country of two. At war with the rest of the world.

"An election looming. A country on the brink. A rabid press baying for blood. At the centre of the storm is Rosmersholm, the grand house of an influential dynasty. This is where the future will be decided by John Rosmer - a man torn between the idealised hope of the future and the ghosts of his past.

For 2019, Tom Burke (Strike, The Musketeers) is the soulful Rosmer haunted by history and tradition. Hayley Atwell (Howards End, Captain America) is Rebecca West, one of Ibsen's greatest heroines."
