Novelizations of popular plays used to be a common feature of book publishing (much like today's novelizations of popular movies). What's odd about this present work is that such a controversial, high-brow play was chosen -- and issued by such a low-brow publisher as Jarrolds. The play itself represents another romp from those devil-may-care Scandinavians, in this case featuring adultery, alcoholism, syphilis, incest, euthanasia via morphine overdose, and an orphanage that burns down. What's not to like? The play was written in 1881 and first performed the following year, somewhat improbably, in Chicago by a touring Danish company. The author, though Norwegian, had written the play in Danish. Its title might be more accurately conveyed in English by the phrase "skeletons in the closet." The play concerns their sudden, overwhelming emergence. A curiosity that should appeal to Ibsen scholars and enthusiasts.
