  “Ibsen wrote his plays when society was hidebound conservative and some things were given - and his plays, his thinking was like a lightening bolt. With such lightening bolts - there were others, from time to time - was light thrown on the dark state of the society and the rot at its foundation.
  
  Several great writers were influenced by Ibsen, amongst them George Bernard Shaw, who was a self described admirer and follower, a strong desciple, of Ibsen, a member of the Fabian Society in England - a group of like minded people.
  
  It was famously said, that when Nora slams the door it resounded across all of Europe. It might be thought the plays are out of date and today we have gone ahead, and there is some truth in that. And yet the plays are very relevant. ”

  “I read "An Enemy of the People" in a book club, and I loved it. It has as much to do with us today as when it was written about 120 years ago. ”
