The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen

May 17 2008 at 8:00 PM

The Hilberry Theatre

A mediation on love, betrayal, fear and desperation. Audiences began to applaud Ibsen’s creative mix of realism and expressionism in his compelling portrait of a middle-aged architect who assesses his obsessive drive to succeed. This play tells the tale of an ageing builder’s struggle to maintain his crumbling career while reaching out for the love of a beautiful woman. Ticket prices range from $20 - $30 with student rush tickets available the day of the performance for $10. Group discounts and corporate packages are also available. For tickets and further information, please call (313) 577-2972 or visit the Wayne State University Box Office at 4743 Cass Avenue on the corner of Cass Avenue and Hancock. Performance information may also be obtained by visiting the theatre’s website at www.hilberry.com.
