For those interested The Norwegian Ibsen Company are making their annual visit to the Coronet 18th October to 2nd November with The Wild Duck. This will be surtitled. Their productions are always interesting but possibly best if you are already somewhat familiar with the play.

I thought the last production they did at the Coronet, When We Dead Awaken, was very good so looking forward to this.

Their very best was Lady From The Sea which brilliantly combined English and Norwegian actors but they have all been worthwhile for Ibsen/Strindberg enthusiasts.

Last saw The Dance of Death at the Arcola (with Lindsay Duncan and husband) .. That was 2-years ago last week.
Not sure if I missed an Ibsen production at the Coronet.

An interesting version of that was at The Gate with Michael Pennington directed by Tom Littler which included the sequel in a single adaptation. I think the only Coronet/Norwegian Ibsen I missed was Little Eyolf.

I've just googled some of these past productions. Turns out some were by the Ibsen company and some (Dance of Death Little Eyolf) were by the National Theatre of Norway. I'm a bit annoyed with myself that I missed them all but WWDA.

I'm a bit annoyed with myself that I missed them all but WWDA. I think somehow they were all the same company - the same actors appeared in several of them.
