I’ll keep this brief, as it is not a review, but more a congratulation. To the director, cast and crew of ‘Ghosts’. Congratulations on a fantastic adaptation of the classic. I was thoroughly entertained, confronted and inspired… Thank you.

Adaptation is correct in

Adaptation is correct in terms of Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen, as the original work is in Norwegian, adaptation is used in the sense of translation for want of a better term. As more than one translation is in existence (obviously) this is the sense in which the term adaptation is used. Perhaps if you actually got off your date and actually did a bit of research into the playwright, instead of being the grammar police, you may have ascertained this fact.
