'Moving the story from its original Norwegian setting to the heat and dust of the Victorian bush in the late nineteenth century, this re-imagining of the Ibsen classic promises to viscerally confront a contemporary Australian audience with the repressed truths of intergenerational illness and trauma.
'We follow Mrs Alving as she tries to shield her son, Oswald, from the truth of their family’s past. But as ghostly secrets unravel, she is forced to confront the reality of their lives, buried under her compulsion to maintain outward propriety and duty. GHOSTS is a journey through the shadows of hidden sins and the quest for truth.'
