Patrick Stewart and Sue Johnston star in this Henrik Ibsen revival, translated by John Logan, and directed by Anthony Page.

Halvard Solness is a brilliantly successful architect who has created a reputation and career for himself at the expense of his wife and family. Now growing old, he lives in fear that a new generation of architects will take over and cast him aside. However, it's to the youth and beauty of a young woman that he falls victim. When Hilde Wangel arrives to collect on a decade old debt, she inspires him to build castles in the air with tragic consequences.

Ibsen's compelling story of betrayal, pride, sexual passion and the disintegration of love, is as fascinating today as it was in 1892 when it was first written.
