On the eve of July 4th in the Hamptons, Elena Solness, a publishing magnate, is preparing to throw a party to celebrate her architect husband, Henry Solness, as he unveils his latest masterpiece.
Their already vulnerable union is shattered by the unexpected arrival of Mathilde, a former student of Henry's, with whom he previously shared an intimate connection. As the evening unfolds, each find themselves face to face with a reckoning that indelibly tilts the axis of their lives.
Inspired by Ibsen, Lila Raicek's My Master Builder is a startling new play that lays bare the vulnerabilities we expose when we leave ourselves open to love.
It is premiered in the West End in 2025, in a production directed by Michael Grandage, with a cast including Ewan McGregor, Elizabeth Debicki, Kate Fleetwood, David Ajala and Mirren Mack.
