...outline would perhaps suggest a tragedy. Yet Ibsen's title is well chosen, and the play even has a happy ending for everyone.

Adventure also claims to have initiated new TV techniques, such as shadow play with mimes to suggest an event of the past, and the ballet to give a concrete illustration of an abstract scientific principle, e.g., the "hereditary ballet," in which the dancers are identifiable as specific genes, to show how a child inherits various characteristics from his parents...
