The Master Builder

Event location: Old Vic Theatre. Ongoing event.

'The change will come. And it's not far away, I promise you that. Some figure will emerge from the dark screaming "Get out of the way". And not far behind others will follow¦ The young are waiting. In all their power. Knocking on the door.'

The master builder, Halvard Solness (Ralph Fiennes), has a fear of falling. A self-made man, without professional qualifications, he has achieved domination in the town, but he is increasingly frightened of being displaced by the young. A woman, Hilde Wangel (Sarah Snook), appears from the mountains, claiming to have known Solness ten years previously, and telling him of a promise he made to her when she was thirteen.

A searing and mesmeric exploration of power, control, death and life, Henrik Ibsen's late masterpiece The Master Builder comes to The Old Vic in a lively new adaptation by David Hare (multi-award-winning writer and author of 32 plays for the stage including Skylight, The Absence Of War, Amy's View, Pravda and Stuff Happens).
