THE MASTER BUILDER
By Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Richard Rose* | Featuring R.H. Thomson*
APRIL 21-26 | BMO STUDIO THEATRE | 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM
In a moment when stories of power and manipulation dominate the headlines, Henrik Ibsen delivers a timeless, and strikingly relevant, drama.
The Master Builder follows an aging architect, haunted by past choices and terrified of being replaced, whose world unravels when a bold young woman challenges everything he believes. A tense, gripping story of ambition, desire, and emotional abuse that resonates today more than ever.
Trigger Warning: Contains themes of psychological manipulation, abusive relationships, and intense emotional distress.
