| Summary | "Mr Punch's Pocket Ibsen" by F. Anstey is a collection of condensed and revised versions of some of Henrik Ibsen's best-known dramas, written in the late 19th century. The compilation aims to present these theatrical masterpieces in a more accessible format for earnest students and enthusiasts of Ibsen's work. The collection includes plays like "Rosmersholm," "A Doll's House," "Hedda Gabler," and "The Wild Duck," showcasing the complex relationships and existential themes characteristic of Ibsen's writing. The opening of "Mr Punch's Pocket Ibsen" introduces the first play in the collection, "Rosmersholm," setting the stage in the titular sitting room. The characters Rebecca West and Madam Helseth are engaged in mundane activities, hinting at underlying tensions and relationships that have been shaped by past tragedies, such as the suicide of Beata, Rosmer's deceased wife. As the scene unfolds, discussions among the characters reveal their intertwined lives and hint at themes of loyalty, social expectations, and personal revolutions within a context that reflects the societal critiques found in Ibsen's original works.
