Description: Henrik Ibsen's classic play, set in 2011 suburban America. A family torn apart by scandal. Religious zealotry. A mother desperate to save her only son. Performed in the secret garden of one of the most haunted houses in Manhattan littered with old family ghosts. Originally written in 1881 Norway, Ibsen's scandalously scathing social commentary is still alarmingly relevant today.

Merchant's House Museum is New York City's only family home preserved intact
-- inside and out -- from the mid-19th century. Built in 1832, it was the residence of a prosperous merchant-class family and four live-in Irish servants for almost 100 years. Filled with the family's furniture, decorative accessories, utilitarian household items, clothing, and personal family memorabilia, it offers a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life from 1835-1865. The Merchant's House has been open to the public as a museum since 1936. www.merchantshouse.orgMerchant's House Museum: 29 East 4th Street between Lafayette and Bowery, New York City
