Stage: Peer Gynt (La Jolla)

La Jolla Playhouse/Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre; La Jolla; June 28–July 24, 2011

Experimental director and Joseph Papp mentoree David Schweizer has directed Peer Gynt once per decade, starting with a Yale student production in the late 1960s and including a version created for the Polish National Theatre in Warsaw in the 1980s. His third, most recent Peer Gynt, staged for La Jolla Playhouse and co-produced with the Kansas City Repertory Theatre, shares with the Warsaw production its reconstructed chronology, an extensively altered script, and a cast of five.
