THE STORY OF PEER GYNT: AN EVENING WITH KÅRE CONRADI
Norwegian star Kåre Conradi’s critically acclaimed one-man dramatised lecture about one of Ibsen’s most famous and colourful characters, Peer Gynt.
Since discovering the play at 17, Conradi has had a passionate connection with Peer Gynt. In just over an hour, he moves effortlessly between storyteller and the feckless Peer himself to shed new light on Ibsen’s legendary play.
“Conradi is an outstanding actor – there are sudden shifts across a wide expressive range, where Conradi displays his versatility.” – Dagbladet
Peer Gynt is the story of a charming but lazy and arrogant young man who leaves home to seek his fortune. Embarking on a series of fantastic voyages around the world, he has one incredible adventure after another. This charismatic stripped back performance goes to the core of what makes Ibsen one of the most performed writers in the world.
“Energetic and compelling, Conradi’s a natural storyteller.” – Broadway Baby
