Peer Gynt
Peer Gynt was a theatre production staged by The National Theatre in 1936, based on the play by Henrik Ibsen.
Halfdan Christensen directed it.
Alfred Maurstad played the title role. He celebrated his 25th anniversary as an actor in the role, November 20 1945.
Johanne Dybwad played the role of Mother Aase. She celebrated her 60th anniversary as an actress in the role, November 7 1947. This was also the last role she performed, December 8 1947.
Peer Gynt was one of The National Theatre's greatest successes, and it was part of the repertoire for twelve years.
The production visited Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris in 1937, for two performances.
Peer Gynt (the first three acts) was revived in 1940. This was the first production to be performed by The National Theatre after the German invasion of Norway.
It was revived anew in 1945, in a run of 56 performances.
Peer Gynt (the first three acts) visited The Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen in 1946.
