In this radical new version of Peer Gynt, David Hare kidnaps Henrik Ibsens most famous hero and runs away with him into the twentyfirst century.Stripped of fretwork and greenery, the play is projected into a freewheeling modern world of music, dance, poetry, weddings, coronations, trolls and twoheaded children as Peter steals a bride and embarks on an extraordinary lifetimes journey before returning home, finally, to Scotland.David Hares Peter Gynt posits the same fundamental question the great Norwegian asked in 1867 does a belief in individualism help or hinder us in trying to live purposefully in the present day?The play opens at the National Theatre in July 2019 and transfers to the Festival Theatre Edinburgh, for the Edinburgh International Festival.
