Why you should see Nora: A Doll’s House
Because this innovative twist on a classic story will bring fresh eyes to this story.
Because feminism rings true, no matter the era.
Because the play “walks the line between old and new, transcending time and space through the lens of a woman in crisis” – Michigan Daily
Because if you thought Jessica Chastain’s revival of A Doll’s House on Broadway was creative…just you wait.
Synopsis
The more things change, the more they stay the same in this bold new retelling of the classic A Doll’s House, which sets the story in 1918, 1968 and 2018. In each time period, Nora is the flawless wife and mother. But she has a secret that threatens to upend this precariously perfect existence. Ibsen challenged gender norms and outraged audiences when A Doll’s House was first performed in 1879. Today, we look back at the roles allowed women during the fight for female suffrage, the swinging sixties, and the modern day, and wonder how far we’ve really come.
