First at Bergen and then at the Norwegian Theatre in Christiania, Henrik Ibsen worked as a director and playwright, trying to create a “national drama.” His early plays were unsuccessful, and the Norwegian Theatre went bankrupt. He left Norway in 1864 and wrote most of his best work in the 27 years he lived abroad.
