Why See A Doll's House?

Plays

A DEFINITIVE TAKE ON A CLASSIC

Henrik Ibsen's seminal play and commentary on the social constraints faced by women in the 19th century still finds relevance today. Transferred from the Young Vic, this critically acclaimed production now enjoys its second revival at the Duke of York Theatre.

Directed by Olivier Award nominated Carrie Cracknell and acted by a cast that includes rising theatre star Hattie Morahan as Nora, A Doll's House sees a combination of thriller-like plotting and a sense that the story is told in a fresh and interesting way. An intricate revolving set design piques interest further as it spins and maintains the illusion of life continuing beyond the scenes. It perfectly replicates the look and feel of the doll's house that main character Nora is cursed to inhabit.

WHAT IS A DOLL'S HOUSE ABOUT?

In late 1800's Norway, Nora Helmer struggles to come to terms with the confines of being a wife and mother in a society that dictates that is all she will ever be. Infantilized by her upbringing and husband Torvald, Nora is unnervingly childlike and on the surface naive, yet it conspires that she is in debt to one of her husband's employees after borrowing money to treat her ailing husband. She falls victim to blackmail and once the ensuing fear and frustration starts to crack her doll-like exterior, Nora faces the irrevocable truths that lie within.
