Why is this play significant?

A very rare production of a work by Ibsen by the Scarborough company and the first time Alan Ayckbourn had directed an Ibsen play despite being a fan of the playwright's work.

Notes

Despite being a fan of Ibsen’s plays, this marked the first time Alan Ayckbourn had directed a play by Ibsen.
This was Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play.
