This playwright was nearly driven insane by directing an Ibsen play. Then she decided to try to write an Ibsen play. This is that play. Set in Olso, a woman haunted by a mysterious former lover is visited by her old friend, Aurora from Bergen.
This production contains adult language and themes, loud sound effects, strobe, and the use of theatrical haze.
