Today was Edvard Grieg’s birthday in 1843. His haunting music for Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt has always fascinated Rhinos.

In Peer Gynt, Peer is a freewheeling scamp. Full of potential and charm, but only partially civilized, he scoots around the world, frantically grasping at opportunity, ultimately accomplishing nothing. As a play it is remarkable in its ambition, a dream play really with lots of Dark Undertones.

Peer Gynt is very Rhino. When We each set out on our Quests, none of Us is sure what’s coming, how our lives will go. So perhaps each of Us is Peer Gynt.
