Nora Helmer has a delicious secret that saved her husband’s life, but if he finds out what she’s done, it might destroy their marriage. Blackmail and innocence, love and hypocrisy collide in A Doll House, one of the most celebrated plays in theater history. A Doll House was the first successful play of its era to affirm a married woman’s right to her own individuality \u2013 although Ibsen insisted that he did not consider himself a campaigner for women\u2019s rights, but rather for human rights Groundbreaking when first published in 1879, A Doll House challenged the conventional norms of playwriting.<\/p>\n
It remains one of the most controversial plays about love and marriage ever written, and still retains the power to shock an audience a century after its lead character opened a door to freedom. A 1997 Broadway revival was the winner of four Tony Awards.<\/p>\n
Performances of A Doll House take place on Thursday, September 22 @ 8 pm; Friday, September 23 @ 8 pm; Saturday, September 24 @ 3 pm & 8 pm; and Sunday, September 25 @ 2 pm & 7pm.
