Sammendrag
The study of Henrik Ibsen s dramas is confined to the introductory portion of course material in Universities in Ghana and has marginalized the social impact of Ibsen s drama on both students and the Ghanaian community. This paper traces Ibsen s position in the Ghanaian education and theatre, and attempt to adapt his dramas as a source of material for a Theatre for Development experiment. As the first study to use text for Theatre for Development, the research draws much of its adaptation source from a workshop held in Harare, Zimbabwe, called "Ibsen Theatre Camp," in 2012. Concentration is given to critical social issues and performance aesthetics that form the core of the adaptation and are relevant to adapting Ibsen for Theatre for Development.
