Synopsis:
Mrs Alving is preparing for the opening of an orphanage in memory of her late husband. Her son's return to the family home brings with it echoes of the past she is desperate to forget. Slowly, mercilessly, inexorably, Ibsen strips bare the secrets and lies of an isolated country town as the play Dramatises one woman?s battle with the conservative conventions of bourgeois society, where an individual's right to free thought is seen as anarchic and dangerous.
Notes:
Original Playwright - Henrik Ibsen. Ghosts was first published in 1881 but looks At issues which Are As relevant now As when Ibsen wrote the play. the play has been made even more relevant to A modern Audience by this Adaptation of Ghosts by Australian playwright Nicki Bloom. Ghosts was controversial when it was first performed And published one critic described it As open sewer . Its power comes from raising issues which do exist but which people do not want to deal with : they become ghosts.

Nicki Bloom's astonishing first play is a haunting examination of love, loss and grief. Sarah can't remember what happened in the gardens. Her memory is fractured, her husband Michael seems barely present and her parents-in-law, Yvonne and Patrick, are losing patience. What is it that she has lost and can she get it back? as we jump between events before and after that fateful night in the gardens it becomes clear that the scars that Sarah carries run deep.

Tender is the winner of the 2006 Adrian Stephen Consett Memorial Prize And the 2007 Inscription Chairman's Award for Best Play
