The Department of Theater and Dance opens their season of thought-provoking and entertaining performances with “The Pillars of Society” by Henrik Ibsen on Friday, Oct. 2.
In the first of his revolutionary prose plays, Ibsen turns his unrelenting critical eye to the hypocrisies of society creating a timeless play that illuminates the same hypocrisies at work today. When his past threatens to explode, Karsten Bernick, a shipping magnate and “pillar of society,” willingly places his reputation and business interests above the lives of the passengers of the American ship, The Indian Girl. When his plot goes disastrously wrong, truth and freedom become the pillars that save society.
The show runs from Friday, Oct. 2 through Sunday, Oct. 11. All performances take place on FAU’s Boca Raton campus. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at www.fauevents.com or by calling 1-800-564-9539. A package of five productions is $80 and can be purchased by calling 561-297-2971.
