The Wild Duck
By Simon Stone & Chris Ryan
17 February 2012 – 17 March 2012 Merlyn Theatre
Based from Henrik Ibsen's
Malthouse Theatre, Belvoir,
Classic New Adaptation Theatre Co-Production
A taut, stripped-back rendition of a modern classic.
Hjalmar Ekdal grew up rich but scandal cast him into poverty. Now he lives in a tiny flat with his father, his wife, his daughter, and a duck. When his old friend Gregers Werle returns with unfinished business, the truth Gregers brings could shatter the world Hjalmar has built around himself.
"THIS IS A FIVE-STAR REVIEW... EVERY CHARACTER IS HONEST, BELIEVABLE AND HUMAN ... AND IT'S AN EXCELLENT ENSEMBLE."
