ROSMERSHOLM at the City Center
As sure as you count on a female lead killing herself, you can be sure that Ibsen will take on a social problem in his work. In Rosmersholm, Ibsen takes on the conflict of developing new social ideals against the conservative underpinnings of a community.

In a typical Ibsen play, humanity serves to highlight the social problem. However, the social problem takes a total back seat to a melodramatic romance in Rosmersholm.
