David Threlfall in
Ibsen’s
PEER GYNT
translated by Michael Meyer
directed by Braham Murray
Regarded as one of the great theatrical masterpieces, Ibsen’s towering poetic drama charts one man’s exhilarating journey through life in the search for his soul. His odyssey takes him from the supernatural kingdom of the Trolls to the glittering shores of Arabia surviving a shipwreck, bankruptcy and the forces of evil.
One of the finest actors of his generation, David Threlfall returns to the
Royal Exchange to play the title role in this epic tale. His many appearances at the Royal
Exchange include RIDDLEY WALKER, MACBETH, YOUR HOME IN THE WEST, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
and most recently, PRESENT LAUGHTER. In 1998 he was made an Associate Artistic Director of
the Company.
