"Halvard Solness, a master architect, has spent his lifetime building the tallest spires in the land. But when Hilde, a radiant country girl, descends unexpectedly into his world, age is confronted by youth, and a series of revelations builds to a vertiginous climax."

The 2016 Old Vic Theatre run will feature Ralph Fiennes in the title role, directed by Matthew Warchus.
