About this listen

 In Mr. Punchs Pocket Ibsen, experience a delightful twist on five of Henrik Ibsens renowned tragedies through witty comic parodies that originally graced the pages of Punch, the iconic British humor magazine. The author playfully acknowledges the absence of the originals enigmatic depth and the lighter touch on allegorical symbolism, while humorously noting that the characters may not be as wildly irrational as real-life individuals often are. These charming adaptations invite readers to embrace the quirks of Ibsens world with a fresh perspective. LibriVox has brought to life full-cast renditions of the original plays that F. Anstey humorously parodies, including Rosmersholm, A Dolls House, Hedda Gabler, The Wild Duck, and The Master Builder. - Summary by Elizabeth Klett
