Pillars of the Community

Samuel Adamson's highly-acclaimed new version of this Ibsen classic portrays shipbuilder Karsten Bernick, a respected, highly successful businessman in a small Norwegian coastal town. Bernick's wealth has been founded on a long-buried deceit which is now being threatened with exposure. As the wily, unscrupulous Bernick struggles to preserve his standing in the community, he sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to destroy all he holds most dear.
