In this Norwegian tale, Peer Gynt is a selfish and imaginative young man who disregards the community identity of rural Norway and leaves to shape a new identity in his own head. Ibsen’s play brings the audience along on the adventures Peer experiences throughout his life including a journey through a troll-inhabited mountain, along the vast Moroccan desert, Cairo, and upon a ship at sea, finally bringing him back to reality and the woman he loves as he discovers what it is to be one’s self.
