The Lady from the Sea 
I like this play. It's not Ibsen's best, sure, but it has a particular flavour which makes it stand out in his work. It's partly the landscapes, and partly the fairy-tale-ish plot of demonic fascination. The ending is also a bit unique, although I won't say how; it's kind of Victorian, which led Max Beerbohm to groan that Ibsen had become old-fashioned, and slightly hard to believe in, but overall I feel satisfied.The translation I read was by Hart-Davis, and it satisfied me just fine.
A haunted echo and workup for A Doll's House.

I went on a tear on 2007 and read all of Henrik Ibsen and all of August Strindberg. Before I could get to all of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, I had to turn back to writing, and I can't read while I write. Ibsen is wonderful. The thing I like most about Ibsen is that he loves and respects women at least in his writing. Not all of his plays are tragedies either. Many are very funny and many have mixed endings, not all are downers. Though I'm not a big fan of Peer Gynt. Strindberg's parody of Peer
With The Lady from the Sea, we see two unusual marriages, both in the story and in the content of the play. In the story, there is the struggling marriage of Dr Wangel and Ellida, the two protagonists, set against an informal marriage she made with a stranger. There is also a rare moment in Ibsen where the characters find a marriage between duty/responsibility and happiness. In content, there is a marriage of styles too. After writing a number of realistic prose plays, Ibsen seems to be once

However, after being forced to put this play down after reading the first act because I had to go to work (and unfortunately I don't work in a job where I can put my feet up on a desk and read a book while video cameras monitor the outside of a warehouse making sure

Narrative Supposing Books The Lady from the Sea
A la izquierda, la casa del doctor Rangel, con una gran terraza llena de muebles. Delante de la casa y alrededor, jardín. En el centro de la escena, un asta de bandera. A la derecha, en la jardín, un cenador, con una mesa y tres sillas. Una valla de esto al fondo. De tras de la valla, un camino que va a lo largo de la playa. El camino tiene una avenida de árboles. Por entre los árboles se divisa el fjord y el contorno de montañas y rocas en la lejanía. Un día de verano cálido y resplandeciente. Ballested, de media edad, con una vieja zamarra y un ancho sombrero de artista, está al lado del asta de la bandera y dispone el lienzo. El asta yace en el suelo. Un poco más lejos hay un caballete con un lienzo. A su lado, en una silla de campo, pincel, paleta y cajas de colores. Bolette Wangel sale a la terraza por la puerta abierta del cuarto del jardín. Trae un florero lleno de flores, que coloca sobre la mesa.Itemize Books As The Lady from the Sea

What a difference a translator makes. This version by Frank McGuinness moves this play from three star territory to five. A creaky play now seems vital.I like this play.
