Question: Olaf Poulsen was in a production of "The Wild Duck" created by which "Peer Gynt" playwright?
Context: The Peer Gynt Road (Norway: "Peer Gynt Vegen") is a 60-kilometre-long tourist mountain road, named for the folkloric character Peer Gynt.  It is a toll road.  It runs in the east of Norway in Oppland county with views of Jotunheimen, along the villages Skeikampen, Fagerhøy, Gålå, Fefor and Dalseter. The Peer Gynt Prize or the Peer Gynt Award ("Årets Peer Gynt" or "Per Gynt-prisen") is a private Norwegian prize presented annually by the private commercial company "Peer Gynt AS" during the Peer Gynt Festival, also organised by the same company.  The Peer Gynt Prize is named after the main character in "Peer Gynt" (1867), a five-act play in verse by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen.  The prize is awarded to people or institutions who has marked themselves in a positive way nationally and internationally.  However, the prize has received criticism for misrepresenting the Peer Gynt character, who is portrayed in Ibsen's play as quintessentially immoral and selfish. Peer Gynt is a 1998 theatrical adaptation of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's classic play "Peer Gynt" by American playwright David Henry Hwang and Swiss director Stephan Muller.  Combining many contemporary references with a streamlined turn of the original story, it was commissioned by the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island.  It opened there on February 3, 1998. Marichen Cornelia Martine Altenburg (24 November 1799 – 3 June 1869) was the mother of playwright Henrik Ibsen and belonged to the patriciate of Skien.  She is considered the model for the character Åse in "Peer Gynt" and Inga of Varteig in "The Pretenders", and indeed, she would "echo through her son's work in unremitting portrayals of suffering women."  Henrik Ibsen himself confirmed that Åse in "Peer Gynt" was based on his mother. Knud Plesner Ibsen (3 October 1797, in Skien – 24 October 1877, in Skien) was the father of playwright Henrik Ibsen, and is widely considered the model for many central characters in his son's plays, including most famously Jon Gynt in "Peer Gynt" and Old Ekdahl in "The Wild Duck", but also Daniel Hejre in "The League of Youth". Olaf Poulsen (26 April 1849 – 26 March 1923) was perhaps the best-known Danish comedic stage actor of his time.  He was famous for playing such roles as Nick Bottom in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Falstaff, among others for the Royal Danish Theatre.  His performance as Old Ekdal in an 1885 production of Henrik Ibsen's "The Wild Duck" was particularly acclaimed.  Olaf was by accounts an outsize personality, unafraid to insult wealthy or noble men even when insulting a man in public was a crime in Denmark.  Five minutes of his improvisation on a 1913 film reel were described at the time as "the best film ever to leave a Danish factory." Mari Maurstad (born 17 March 1957) is a Norwegian actress.  She debuted at Nationaltheatret (the National Theatre) in 1981, and has worked there since.  Here she has had roles such as "Polly" in Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera", and "Mrs. Sørby" in Ibsen's "The Wild Duck".  She has also acted in outdoor performances of Ibsen's Peer Gynt, and in several one-woman shows.  In film and television she is best known for her roles in "Drømmeslottet" (1986) and "Pilen flyttebyrå" (TV, 1987).  Maurstad took part in the reality show "Skal vi danse" (based on "Strictly Come Dancing") in 2007. Henrik Johan Ibsen ( ; ] ; 20 March 1828 – 23 May 1906) was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet.  He is often referred to as "the father of realism" and is one of the founders of Modernism in theatre.  His major works include "Brand", "Peer Gynt", "An Enemy of the People", "Emperor and Galilean", "A Doll's House", "Hedda Gabler", "Ghosts", "The Wild Duck", "When We Dead Awaken", "Pillars of Society", "The Lady from the Sea", "Rosmersholm", "The Master Builder", and "John Gabriel Borkman".  He is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare, and by the early 20th century "A Doll's House" became the world's most performed play. "Peer Gynt" Sculpture Park ("Peer Gynt-parken") is a sculpture park located in Oslo, Norway.  The sculpture park was created in honour of the man who is perhaps Norway’s most internationally known writer, Henrik Ibsen and is a monumental presentation of one of his most famous plays "Peer Gynt", act by act. Peer Gynt is a 1934 German drama film directed by Fritz Wendhausen and starring Hans Albers, Lucie Höflich and Marieluise Claudius.  It is based on the play "Peer Gynt" by Henrik Ibsen.  It was one of the most expensive productions made by Bavaria Film and involved location shooting in Norway.
