Peer Gynt

Peer Gynt is considered a masterpiece of world literature. Ever since it was written in 1867, it has touched and challenged readers and audiences. The drama addresses existential questions of life and encourages reflection and contemplation. The local Peer, in many ways, becomes an example and an expression of the universal and common human experience, as presented in Ibsen’s Peer Gynt.
