When We Dead Awaken

About this film

LibriVox recording of When We Dead Awaken by Henrik Ibsen, translated by William Archer. When We Dead Awaken (1899) is the last play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Dreamlike and highly symbolic, the play charts the dissolution of sculptor Arnold Rubek's marriage to Maia, her flirtation with Ulfheim, and his involvement with the mysterious Irene, his former model. The tensions rise between the characters as they climb higher and higher into the Norwegian mountains. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett) Cast Professor Arnold Rubek: bala Maia Rubek: Libby Gohn The Inspector: Ernst Pattynama Ulfheim: Nicholas Anema Irene: Elizabeth Klett Sister of Mercy: Charlotte Duckett Narrator: Arielle Lipshaw For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
