FOREST THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS RICHARD CORLEY’S ADAPTATION OF HENRIK IBSEN’S

Little Eyolf

Our 2026 - 2027 season opens with a rarely produced play by Henrik Ibsen of Norway, one of the world’s greatest playwrights and the father of modern drama.

Little Eyolf, written in 1894, is a late poetic masterpiece of deep psychological insight, mythic storytelling, and rich family dynamics. Rita and Alfred Allmers, a young couple whose lives are still ahead of them, struggle with guilt over a past traumatic event. The Allmers inability to devote full attention to their young son Eyolf endangers the boy, creating a profound existential crisis of remorse and redemption.

Little Eyolf, adapted by Richard Corley, is part of Forest Theatre Company’s multi-year exploration of the plays of Henrik Ibsen.

This production is presented with the generous support of the Norwegian Consulate General, New York, Nov 19-22, 27-29 and Dec 4-6, 2026 at Saint Paul Lutheran, 1025 Lake St., Melrose Park 60160.
