Under
the guiding hand of noted Ibsen scholar, professor Joan
Templeton, the 10th International Ibsen Conference expects
to gather more than 100 scholars from over 20 countries
at the Brooklyn Campus for an extraordinary gathering
about the most frequently produced playwright after
Shakespeare. The conference is sponsored by the Ibsen
Society of America and Long Island University, under
the auspices of the International Ibsen Committee. Speakers
will present papers on topics such as Ibsen in performance
(on stage and in film), Ibsen in translation, teaching
Ibsen, Ibsen in political and social context, Ibsens
dramaturgy and Ibsens affinities with and influence
on other writers.
Ibsens
The Lady from the Sea, will be performed
at one of New Yorks cutting-edge venues
the Old American Can Factory in Carroll Gardens
on June 4.
