My Master Builder with Ewan McGregor releases rehearsal photos

Exclusive: Take a look at Ewan McGregor and the cast of My Master Builder in rehearsals!

The new play by Lila Raicek, inspired by Ibsen, is directed by Michael Grandage and set on the eve of Independence Day in the Hamptons. The piece follows Elena Solness, a publishing magnate, and her architect husband, Henry Solness, as their marriage is disrupted by the arrival of Mathilde, a former student of Henry’s with whom he once shared a connection. It explores themes of love and vulnerability and draws inspiration from Ibsen.

McGregor reunites with Grandage, following their previous collaborations on Othello and Guys and Dolls at the Donmar Warehouse.
