The Wild Duck (Hampton)
by Christopher Hampton, Henrik Ibsen
Synopsis
Here is the greatest account ever written of the destructiveness of missonary zeal.
Gregers Werle enters the house of photographer Ekdal preaching 'the demands of idealism'(a nicely ambiguous phrase in Hampton's translation) and systematically destroys a family's happiness.
'If Ibsen's play is not a masterpiece, then the word is devoid of meaning.' Guardian.
