Adapted and directed by Staller, League of Youth is, press notes state, a farce by "Henrik Ibsen鈥攈is first non-verse play in an attempt to move his style toward realism. This broad comedy tells the tale of a wildly ambitious young man determined to take over the government of a town. In nineteenth-century Norway, it was widely considered Ibsen's most popular play, lauded for its natural and witty dialogue, cynical humor and farcical intrigue."
鈥淕ingold Theatrical Group is proud to present the New York debut of League of Youth, by the man who inspired Shaw to begin writing plays,鈥� said Staller in a statement. 鈥淲e鈥檙e offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience a brand new classic Ibsen comedy.
