Movement Director Polly Bennett on Peter Gynt | 2019 International Festival

Polly Bennett tells us about her role as a movement director and takes us behind-the-scenes for a sneak peek into rehearsals for Peter Gynt. Peter Gynt is a provocative, raucous reboot of Ibsen’s epic verse play, created by David Hare and directed by Jonathan Kent, in a major co-production with National Theatre of Great Britain starring Scottish actor James McArdle. In this radical new version, Hare kidnaps Ibsen’s most famous hero and runs away with him into the 21st century, transposing him from Norway to Scotland. See it as part of the Edinburgh International Festival at the Festival Theatre on 1-10 August 2019. Learn more and book your tickets here: https://eif.buzz/2Wo3g9V Supported by Sir Ewan and Lady Brown
