 The Master Builder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master Builder (Norwegian: Bygmester Solness) is a play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen.
The Master Builder was the first work Ibsen wrote upon after his return to Norway from Europe in July 1891.
It is generally grouped with the three other works written during this late period of Ibsen's life - Little Eyolf, John Gabriel Borkman, and When We Dead Awaken - as "symbolic plays" which lack the thematic clarity of such earlier works as Hedda Gabler.

THE MASTER BUILDER by Henrik Ibsen Translated by Edmund Gosse and William Archer Introduction by William Archer INTRODUCTION.
Thus we see that, thirty-five years before the date of _The Master Builder_, Ibsen's imagination was preoccupied with a symbol of a master building a castle in the air, and a young girl in one of its towers.
When _The Master Builder_ appeared, it would seem that Ibsen did not even send her a copy of the play; and we gather that he was rather annoyed when she sent him a photograph signed "Princess of Orangia." On his seventieth birthday, however, she telegraphed her congratulations, to which he returned a very cordial reply.

 Review of The Master Builder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Alan Bates delivers many of Master Builder Solness's lines like a man whose heart is literally about to give out: rushing breathlessly through phrases, pausing in odd places and firing out the occasional single word like a pellet of buckshot.
Her Hilde is assured but not arrogant, seducing Solness with her enthusiasms more than she belabours him with her ten-year obsession; in her mildly raggle-taggle clothing, she brings with her the odour of the world beyond the master builder's stifling home and business life, like a road movie incarnate.
It is disconcerting to see a director at once demonstrate a thorough, detailed understanding of a play and yet not trust it to do its own work without a succession of pointers to the audience.

 The Master Builder Summary
Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway, to Knud (a businessman) and Marichen (Altenburg) Ibsen.
The humiliation his family suffered as they sold off most of their property to pay off debts became a dynamic in his later plays, especially in A Doll House (1879) and John Gabriel Borkman (1896).
Fire, which was a constant threat to Skien’s wooden shacks, was another subject in some of his plays, including Ghosts (1881) and The Master Builder (1892).
