Auditions for John Gabriel Borkman

Auditions for John Gabriel Borkman

This is to announce the first of the audition series for the LP production of Henrik Ibsen’s ‘JOHN GABRIEL BORKMAN’, directed by Suresh Nampuri, premiering on April 20 and running through to May 4. 

JBG was Ibsen’s next to last play and showcases the playwright at his naturalistic best. Described by Edvard Munch as having captured the very essence of the desolation of the Scandinavian landscape and
based on a series of real - life events in late nineteenth century, this play about a disgraced banker, accused of fraud and embezzlement, and the long shadow oof corrupted greatness that  his empty shell of a living presence  casts upon his family and his loves is a poetic ode to the terrors of imprisonment by one’s memories of a future that might have been.  In a two-act narrative that fleshes out the effects of his fall from grace on a chillingly broken wife, who has wrapped herself in icy resolve of redemption through the son, her sister Ella, who nourishes her tragic love for John by adopting his son, the existentially tremulous son himself who has always been viewed as the substitute for the father, John’s loyal friend who sticks to his delusions of being a poet and John through his downfall, his daughter whose tender loyalty to the son  mirrors her father’s to John, and the most risible element in this glacial cauldron soup, Mrs. Fanny Wilton, a veritable Mrs. Robinson crossed with Lady Chatterlee whose jagged edges of sophistication conceals an incisive observation of human nature that just might be the redemption of them all.
