In his verse play Peer Gynt, Ibsen brings to life the adventures and sorrows of a legendary Norwegian folk hero who travels the world in search of fame and glory, but must return home to find the redemption that only love can offer. By sympathetically portraying a lovable rogue with little or no moral compass, Ibsen helped establish his reputation as the father of modern drama. Produced by the Open University. (50 minutes)
