I saw a student production about 50 years ago put on by the drama and music
departments at the University of Oklahoma. One of the actors was a fellow
later known as 'Chester' on the TV series 'Gunsmoke' - Dennis Weaver.
Grieg's incidental music was played by the university orchestra.
I vaguely recall that the production was somehow tied in with the
publication by the University of Oklahoma Press of a new translation of
the play.
