Henrik Ibsen
Born in 1828, Henrik Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often associated with the early Modernist movement in theatre. Determined to become a playwright from a young age, Ibsen began writing while working as an apprentice pharmacist to help support his family. Though his early plays were largely unsuccessful, Ibsen was able to take employment at a theatre where he worked as a writer, director, and producer. Ibsen’s first success came with Brand and Peter Gynt, and with later plays like A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and The Master Builder he became one of the most performed playwrights in the world, second only to William Shakespeare. Ibsen died in his home in Norway in 1906 at the age of 78.

Peer Gynt
Translated by William and Charles Archer
Loosely based on the Norwegian fairy tale of Per Gynt, concerning a hunter from Kvam and has various adventures, this is the most widely performed Norwegian play in Ibsen’s homeland. His last play in poetic form, Peer Gynt was written in deliberate disregard of the limitations that the conventional stagecraft of the 19th century imposed on drama. Its forty scenes move uninhibitedly in time and space, blending folkloric fantasy and unsentimental realism. According to Klaus Van Den Berg, the cinematic script blends poetry with social satire and realistic scenes with surreal ones
.
On 5 January 1867 Ibsen wrote to Frederik Hegel, his publisher, of his plan for the play, which would be a long dramatic poem, having as its principal a part-legendary, part-fictional character from Norwegian folklore during recent times. It will bear no resemblance to Brand, and will contain no direct polemics or anything of that kind.
He began to write Peer Gynt on 14 January, employing a far greater variety of metres in its rhymed verse than he had used in his previous verse plays. The first two acts were completed in Rome and the third in Casamicciola on the north of the island of Ischia. In the composition of the play, Ibsen was generally inspired by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen’s collection of Norwegian Fairy Tales, published in 1845. Several of the characters are modelled after Ibsen’s own family, notably his parents Knud Ibsen and Marichen Altenburg.
The play forms a satire of Norwegian egotism and narrowness, sparking widespread hostility from Hans Christian Andersen and other Scandinavian writers at the time of publication. The first edition of 1,250 copies was published on 14 November, 1867 in Copenhagen and quickly sold out, demanding a further re-print of 2,000 copies. Peer Gynt was first performed in Christiania on 24 February 1876, with original music composed by Edvard Grieg, which in itself has since become a highly celebrated work of art.
The play introduces Peer Gynt, the son of the once highly regarded Jon Gynt, who spent all his money on feasting and living lavishly, and had to go from his farm as a wandering salesman, leaving his wife and son behind in debt. Åse, the mother, wished to raise her son to restore the lost fortune of his father, but Peer is soon to be considered useless. He is a poet and a braggart, not unlike the youngest son from Norwegian fairy tales, the Ash Lad
, with whom he shares some characteristics. As the play opens, Peer provides an account of a reindeer hunt that went awry, a famous theatrical scene generally known as the Buckride.
His mother scorns him for his vivid imagination, and taunts him because he spoiled his chances with Ingrid, the daughter of the richest farmer. Peer leaves for Ingrid’s wedding, scheduled for the following day, because he may still get a chance with the bride. His mother follows quickly to stop him from shaming himself completely.
Henrik Klausen as Peer, 1876

ACT FIRST
SCENE FIRST
[A wooded hillside near ÅSE’s farm. A river rushes down the slope. On the further side of it an old mill shed. It is a hot day in summer.]
[PEER GYNT, a strongly-built youth of twenty, comes down the pathway. His mother, ÅSE, a small, slightly built woman, follows him, scolding angrily.]
ÅSE
Peer, you’re lying!
PEER [without stopping]
No, I am not!
ÅSE
Well then, swear that it is true!
PEER
Swear? Why should I?
ÅSE
See, you dare not!
It’s a lie from first to last.
PEER [stopping]
It is true — each blessed word!
ÅSE [confronting him]
Don’t you blush before your mother?
First you skulk among the mountains
monthlong in the busiest season,
stalking reindeer in the snows;
home you come then, torn and tattered,
gun amissing, likewise game; —
and at last, with open eyes,
think to get me to believe
all the wildest hunters’-lies! —
Well, where did you find the buck, then?
PEER
West near Gendin.
ÅSE [laughing scornfully]
Ah! Indeed!
PEER
Keen the blast towards me swept;
hidden by an alder-clump,
he was scraping in the snow-crust
after lichen —
ÅSE [as before]
Doubtless, yes!
PEER
Breathlessly I stood and listened,
heard the crunching of his hoof,
saw the branches of one antler.
Softly then among the boulders
I crept forward on my belly.
Crouched in the moraine I peered up; —
such a buck, so sleek and fat,
you, I’m sure, have ne’er set eyes on.
ÅSE
No, of course not!
PEER
Bang! I fired!
Clean he dropped upon the hillside.
But the instant that he fell
I sat firm astride his back,
gripped him by the left ear tightly,
and had almost sunk my knife-blade
in his neck, behind his skull —
when, behold! the brute screamed wildly,
sprang upon his feet like lightning,
with a back-cast of his head
from my fist made knife and sheath fly,
pinned me tightly by the thigh,
jammed his horns against my legs,
clenched me like a pair of tongs; —
then forthwith away he flew
right along the Gendin-Edge!
ÅSE [involuntarily]
Jesus save us — !
PEER
Have you ever
chanced to see the Gendin-Edge?
Nigh on four miles long it stretches
sharp before you like a scythe.
Down o’er glaciers, landslips, scaurs,
down the toppling grey moraines,
you can see, both right and left,
straight into the tarns that slumber,
black and sluggish, more than seven
hundred fathoms deep below you.
Right along the Edge we two
clove our passage through the air.
Never rode I such a colt!
Straight before us as we rushed
‘twas as though there glittered suns.
Brown-backed eagles that were sailing
in the wide and dizzy void
half-way ‘twixt us and the tarns,
dropped behind, like motes in air.
Ice-floes on the shores broke crashing,
but no murmur reached my ears.
Only sprites of dizziness sprang,
dancing, round; — they sang, they swung,
circle-wise, past sight and hearing!
ÅSE [dizzy]
Oh, God save me!
PEER
All at once,
at a desperate, break-neck spot,
rose a great cock-ptarmigan,
flapping, cackling, terrified,
from the crack where he lay hidden
at the buck’s feet on the Edge.
Then the buck shied half around,
leapt sky-high, and down we plunged
both of us into the depths!
[ÅSE totters, and catches at the trunk of a tree. PEER GYNT continues:]
Mountain walls behind us, black,
and below a void unfathomed!
First we clove through banks of mist,
then we clove a flock of sea-gulls,
so that they, in mid-air startled,
flew in all directions, screaming.
Downward rushed we, ever downward.
But beneath us something shimmered,
whitish, like a reindeer’s belly. —
Mother, ‘twas our own reflection
in the glass-smooth mountain tarn,
shooting up towards the surface
with the same wild rush of speed
wherewith we were shooting downwards.
ÅSE [gasping for breath]
Peer! God help me — ! Quickly, tell — !
Aase on the Mill-house Roof
PEER
Buck from over, buck from under,
in a moment clashed together,
scattering foam-flecks all around.
There we lay then, floating, plashing, —
But at last we made our way
somehow to the northern shore;
buck, he swam, I clung behind him: —
I ran homewards —
ÅSE
But the buck, dear?
PEER
He’s there still, for aught I know; —
[Snaps his fingers, turns on his heel, and adds:]
catch him, and you’re welcome to him!
ÅSE
And your neck you haven’t broken?
Haven’t broken both your thighs?
and your backbone, too, is whole?
Oh, dear Lord — what thanks, what praise,
should be thine who helped my boy!
There’s a rent, though, in your breeches;
but it’s scarce worth talking of
when one thinks what dreadful things
might have come of such a leap — !
[Stops suddenly, looks at him open-mouthed and wide-eyed; cannot find words for some time, but at last bursts out:]
Oh, you devil’s story-teller,
Cross of Christ, how you can lie!
All this screed you foist upon me,
I remember now, I knew it
when I was a girl of twenty.
Gudbrand Glesne it befell,
never you, you —
PEER
Me as well.
Such a thing can happen twice.
ÅSE [exasperated]
Yes, a lie, turned topsy-turvy,
can be prinked and tinselled out,
decked in plumage new and
