Ibsen wrote great stories about women, but how much did the women in his life do more than inspire the stories?

Based on a few irrefutable facts, Ibsen's Ghost tells a tall (and hilarious) tale of the legendary Norwegian playwright's wife Suzannah the week after the great man's state funeral. A fierce keeper of the flame, Suzannah is confronted with a series of predicaments: her husband's long lost illegitimate son, his former protegee peddling a libelous diary and an enigmatic rodent exterminator known as the Rat Wife. This is the play Ibsen never wrote but with more laughs and a happy ending.

"My longtime collaborator/director Carl Andress and I are delighted to work with David Saint and premiere my new play at this distinguished theater. If Henrik Ibsen were alive, I have no doubt he'd be submitting his latest work to the George Street Playhouse." - Charles Busch.
