Little Dead Lady

Devised from Little Eyolf, When We Dead Awaken and The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen

Since the 1800’s Henrik Ibsen has been heralded as a literary titan. Ibsen penned some of the most influential and complex female characters in dramatic history. But not all of Ibsen’s female characters have gotten the attention they deserve. We can’t all be Nora Helmer or Hedda Gabler.

Little Dead Lady is a dark comedy that explores the lives of Irena, the Nun that followers her and the Rat Wife. Using text from Little Eyolf, When We Dead Awaken and The Lady from the Sea with original dance and movement, Little Dead Lady is a humorous waltz through the tragedy experienced by these remarkable young women. what would you be willing to do to get a laugh?

Little Dead Lady premiered at the Royal MTC’s IbsenFest in January 2019
