When We Dead Awaken by Henrik Ibsen

3.0

2.5 stars. I wish I liked this play more than I do because Ibsen’s later prose plays are some of my favorite ever written. But the symbolism here is too heavy-handed, the characters are too stereotypically brooding, and the ending is almost laughable. I only wish Ibsen’s health had lasted for another decade so that he could have made the transition into the next phase of his career.
