Haymarket Theatre Royal Haymarket, London.

The Royal Shakespeare Company present Brand by Henrik Ibsen in a translation by Michael Meyer.

Brand, a priest, is the most devout follower of God. Steadfast of will, he will not condone any form of moral compromise, whatever the circumstances.

His sole objective is to serve God and save the souls of his people. So powerful are his convictions, he rejects his dying mother and forbids his wife from mourning their son.

Is the road of extreme sacrifice and suffering truly the road to God and ultimate salvation?

The cast includes Ralph Fiennes.
