Thousands of copies were returned to the publisher. Ghosts was a serious hot potato nobody had touched since its publication a year before. The actors were mostly Norwegian and Danish amateurs the play was performed in Norwegian for Scandinavian immigrants.īut wait, isn't Ibsen supposed to be a big deal? Like, the Father of Modern Drama kind of big deal? Couldn't he have a grander opening that that? Not with Ghosts, which he wrote between A Doll's House and Enemy of the People. It was the first time an Ibsen play was performed in the United States. The very first performance of Ghosts happened in Chicago on May 20th 1882, at a place called Aurora Turner Hall. You won't get it, because it's completely crazy. Just guess where the premiere of Henrik Ibsen's play Ghosts took place.
