When We Dead Awaken by Henrik Ibsen

I read an adaptation by Robert Brustein for the American Repertory Theatre Series which was even shorter than this one (66 pages). Speaking only for that shorter version, I can confidently say....this is a play written by Henrik Ibsen. There are lines. There are set changes. There are themes. Did any of those lines, themes, or set changes grip me overmuch? No. If I wanted a show about a male visual artist draining his muse and ultimately becoming unmoored from the world around him in service of a grand vision, I'd rewatch Sunday in the Park with George.
