From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossd lovers take their life; Whose misadventurd piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents strife. The fearful passage of their death-markd love, And the continuance of their parents rage, Which but their childrens end naught could remove, Is now the two hours traffic of our stage; The which, if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

When We Dead Awaken, first published in 1899 as "Naar vi dde vaagner", is the final theatrical drama written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Set at a Norwegian spa during the wintertime, the story is told in three acts, and charts the existential ruminations of professor and famed sculptor Arnold Rubek as he reunites with his former muse, Irene von Satow. Desperate to recapture the glory of his past inspirations, Rubek must also reconcile his relationship with his estranged wife, Maia. Often called one of Ibsens most confessional works, the play touches on themes of despair, mortality, legacy, nostalgia, artistic expression, petrification, rekindled romances, and ultimately, the acceptance of death. Some scholars believe the play is a biographical blend of Ibsens own life with that of his contemporary, Auguste Rodin.
