Ghosts

Ghosts is a play by Henrik Ibsen (1881). The original title in Norwegian is Gengangere (current spelling: Gjengangere).

The play had its world premiere onstage in Chicago, at Aurora Turner Hall May 20 1882, where it was performed by Norwegian and Swedish immigrants, with the Danish actress Helga von Bluhme in the role of Helene Alving.

The rest of the actors seem to have been merry amateurs, who wanted to promote Ibsen's drama.
