As Soulpepper rings out its 2011 season, dysfunctional families have been the theme du jour, from Arthur Miller’s The Price to Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. So it’s rather fitting Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts — host to the mother of all dysfunctional families in dramatic literature — is helping to bookend the spellbinding season.
