In Burning Coal’s production of A House (After Ibsen’s Ghosts), adapted by Lucius Robinson and Jerome Davis from the play by Henrik Ibsen, the ‘father of modern drama’ and a notorious ‘ladies’ man, we meet the Alvings and the Engstrands, two families at polar opposite ends of the economic spectrum (and all played by actor Lucius Robinson.) In this one-person show, Burning Coal regular and current Baltimore resident Lucius Robinson stars under the direction of Burning Coal Artistic Director Jerome Davis. In the play, we watch as a disease, not to be talked about in polite company, comes to infest not just its immediate victim, but the entire community in which he lives. Incest, syphilis, an overbearing mother, a dead but not forgotten father, a maid who may be more than she seems, its all part of Ibsen’s world of secrets, shadows, lies and ghosts.
