A Doll's House

Henrik Ibsen's groundbreaking 1879 play scandalized audiences and changed the course of modern drama. Nora Helmer appears to live an idyllic life as the cherished wife of an up-and-coming banker—but beneath the surface lies a secret debt, a forged signature, and a marriage built on illusions. As her carefully maintained world begins to unravel, Nora confronts the suffocating expectations placed upon her and makes a choice that reverberated through theaters around the world. A searing examination of marriage, identity, and a woman's right to define herself, A Doll's House remains one of the most powerful and performed plays ever written.
