It is also a highly critical commentary on the morality of the day. The play centers around the widow of a prominent Norwegian sea captain whose son returns home and, with tragic consequences, revives the ghosts of the past that she has long labored to put to rest. Ghosts immediately became a source of controversy for its inclusion of topics like venereal disease, incest, and euthanasia, and it was banned from being performed in England for many years. Its arrival signals a shift in the nature of theatre and, despite negative criticism, it was translated into other languages and performed in Sweden, Germany, and New York within a few years of its debut. It stands now as one of the works considered to have ushered in the era of modern drama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Culturea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45572063461527,"sku":"9791041801503","price":1719.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9791041801503.webp?v=1768596361","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ghosts-9791041801503","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
