Production Photos Released for My Master Builder Featuring Ewan McGregor

The play, written by Lila Raicek and inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s work, has been receiving significant attention for its star-studded cast and compelling storyline.
About the Play: My Master Builder
My Master Builder is set in the Hamptons on the eve of Independence Day, where the complex dynamics of love, power, and vulnerability unfold. The play centers around Elena Solness, a successful publishing magnate, and her husband, Henry Solness, a renowned architect. Their seemingly stable marriage is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mathilde, a former student of Henry’s with whom he once shared a deep connection. As past and present collide, the play delves into themes of emotional struggle, ambition, and the fragility of human relationships, all inspired by Ibsen’s examination of personal and societal conflicts.
