European playwright whose dramatic works dealt with then-touchy social issues
'''Henrik Ibsen''' was a European playwright whose dramatic works dealt with then-touchy social issues such as political corruption and sexually-transmitted diseases. His ''Hedda Gabler'' featured an unhappily-married protagonist who steals a drunken writer's manuscript and provides the weapon by which he commits suicide. (Current advertising on the New Times radio station [[WQXR]] describes this character in glowing, positive terms.)
