My Master Builder

What is My Master Builder about?

My Master Builder is a bold new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder, starring Ewan McGregor alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Kate Fleetwood, David Ajala, and Mia Tomlinson. The play tells the story of Halvard Solness, an ageing architect haunted by the compromises he made to reach the top of his profession, whose world is upended by the arrival of a young woman who challenges everything he believes about ambition, creativity, and the price of success.

Why see My Master Builder?

The combination of Ewan McGregor in his West End debut and an exceptional supporting cast makes this one of the most anticipated productions of the season. Ibsen's exploration of creative ambition, generational tension, and self-deception feels startlingly contemporary. The production at Wyndham's Theatre promises an intimate staging that brings audiences close to the psychological intensity at the play's heart. With tickets from £30, this is a rare opportunity to see a major international star in a classic text.
