“Ibsen never gave up. He continued to the end to write, searching for that something more, that could give sense to everything – and to himself. Ibsen didn’t try to change the world, to rectify its evils. He tried to discover why even the worst of life is worth saving. And to find the stories and the situations through which to make this - affirmation.”
