Three Plays (1979 Easton Press edition) by Henrik Ibsen is a luxuriously bound collection of the Norwegian playwright’s most revolutionary works, showcasing his genius for psychological depth and social critique. Typically including:
-
A Doll’s House (1879) – Nora Helmer’s iconic slam of the door reverberates through this scathing indictment of patriarchal marriage, as she abandons her condescending husband to seek self-discovery.
-
Hedda Gabler (1890) – The tragic, manipulative Hedda, trapped in a stifling bourgeois life, orchestrates her own destruction in a masterpiece of repressed desire and toxic ennui.
-
The Wild Duck (1884) – A brutal exploration of truth’s destructiveness, where an idealist’s crusade shatters a family’s fragile illusions.
The Easton Press edition elevates these classics with full leather binding, gilt edges, and archival paper—a fitting tribute to Ibsen’s enduring influence on modern drama.
