Henrik Ibsen

The father of modern drama, Ibsen revolutionized theater by depicting realistic characters in psychologically complex social situations. His problem plays challenged Victorian hypocrisy on women, marriage, and social pretense. No playwright has more profoundly shaped the subsequent history of Western theater.
