"What the artists captured so delicately in this beautiful production is the play's generosity and playfulness"

John Gabriel Borkman, a passionate industrialist, has served five years in prison for de-frauding his employees. He now lives in exile on the top floor of his house, while his estranged and bitter wife lives below in her own, self-imposed prison. In a snowstorm, her estranged sister, once her rival for Borkman's affections arrives. What follows is a battle of passions where industry is pitted against the desire for love.
