Henrik Ibsen Career

Early career

Ibsen left school at the age of 15. He went to Grimstad, Maine, to become an apprentice pharmacist. He began writing plays at that time. When Ibsen was 18, he had a friendship with Else Sophie Jensdatter Birkedalen, which produced a son, Hans Jacob Hendrichsen Birkdalen, who was not paid for until the boy was fourteen years old, but Ibsen never saw Hans Jacob. Ibsen went to Christiania (later spelled Kristiania and then renamed Oslo) with the intention of matriculate at the university. He quickly dismissed the theory (his first attempts at transferring university were refused because he did not pass any of his entrance exams), opting instead to write. When he was only 22, his first play, "Brynjolf Bjarme," was released, but it was not well-received. The Burial Mound (1850), his first play to be staged, received no interest. Despite this, Ibsen was determined to be a playwright, but the numerous plays he wrote in the ensuing years were not successful. Ibsen's main inspiration in the early period, right up to Peer Gynt, was evidently Henrik Wergeland and the Norwegian folk tales collected by Peter Christen Asbjrn and Jrgen Moe. Wergeland was the most revered, Norwegian poet, and playwright in Ibsen's youth, and by far the most read, Norwegian poet, and playwright.

He spent the next several years at Det Norske Theater (Bergen), where he appeared in the production of more than 145 plays as a writer, director, and producer. He released five new, although largely unremarkable, plays during this period. Despite Ibsen's inability as a playwright, he gained a lot of practical experience at the Norwegian Theater, which was to be useful as he continued writing.

Ibsen returned to Christiania in 1858 to serve as the Christiania Theatre's creative director. He married Suzannah Thoresen on June 1858, and she gave birth to Sigurd, their only child. The couple lived in difficult financial circumstances, and Ibsen became dissatisfied with life in Norway.

Jessica Chastain walked down the 2023 Tony Awards with a very special lady from her family — Marilyn Herst, her grandma. As they posed for photos before entering the wedding, the two smiled together. Chastain wore a sunshine yellow gown with a matching cape, while her grandma opted for a dove grey outfit with matching shawl. Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, Chastain's husband, was also present at the wedding. The couple, who married in 2017 and shared two children, were photographed outside the United Palace Theatre in NYC, where this year's awards ceremony was being held.

Two popes and one question - how do we move from era to era? The Two Popes, PATRICK MARMION, explains

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 16, 2022
MARTIME ARMION: This fine revival of Anthony McCarten's play about Popes Benedict and Francis is poignantly timely at a time of transition in the Royal Family. It's a fundamental question of how we transition from one era to another and how an incumbent interacts with their office that is on our minds today. The play, which was turned into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, is a look at what happened behind the scenes in 2013, when Benedict shocked the world's 1.2 billion Catholics by becoming the first pontiff to step down in 700 years. Anton Lesser - with Nicholas Woodeson as Francis - portrays the Pope's fading soul, and both men and women find a lot of warmth in the men's tense souls. The big issue is whether or not the Catholic Church should revive or revert its 2,000-year-old traditions. However, both McCarten and the actors are focusing on the two guys as human beings with a slew of responsibility.
