Aurora Fra Bergen, or, Ibsanity: The Third Play in the 2017–2018 MainStage Season—A Season of the American Landscape

Aurora fra Bergen, or, Ibsanity by Nina Morrison is a contemporary, queer, absurd riff on Ibsen’s The Lady from the Sea. Morrison’s hilarious take on this rarely produced Ibsen drama questions our modern conventions of love and marriage. How do you choose between stability and passion? How do you recover from an all-consuming heartbreak, especially when you have to go to work the next day?

Ibsanity had a workshop production at the University of Iowa, and the Fordham production is the New York premiere. Performed by an incredibly talented ensemble of students and supported by a professional design team, this production is 72 minutes of absurd comedy with a meta-theatrical flair and deep heart.
