RED LEATHER THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
GHOSTS
by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Jack Aldisert
This site-specific production of GHOSTS follows the story of a woman who was married to an awful, alcoholic, philandering man for years, but covered up his true character and maintained his good reputation so as not to crush her son's image of the man. Now her husband is dead and her son has come home, and she finds herself in a hopeless dilemma over whether or not to reveal the truth. It is a story about hypocrisy, cowardice, and the corrupting power of lies.
