Nora Helmer has spent years playing the role of the ideal wife—charming, devoted, and always putting others first. But behind the facade of her seemingly perfect marriage lies a long-buried secret—one that could destroy everything she’s built.
When the truth finally comes out, Nora must confront the harsh realities of marriage, identity, and independence. As the pressure builds and the stakes get higher, she’s forced to make an unthinkable choice—one that changed the course of theatre history.
When Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House premiered in 1879, it shocked audiences and sparked fierce debates about gender roles and marriage. Ibsen didn’t just write plays—he challenged conventions and dared people to think differently. It’s no wonder he’s hailed as “the father of modern drama.”
Now, nearly 150 years later, acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog breathes new life into this iconic story with a contemporary 110-minute adaptation that’s fast-paced, powerful, and more relevant than ever. Critics have praised Herzog’s version as “an electrifying revival” that honors Ibsen’s bold spirit while captivating today’s audiences with its fresh and dynamic approach.
Whether you’re experiencing A Doll’s House for the first time or rediscovering it from a new perspective, Herzog’s adaptation will grip you from the first line and leave you questioning long after the final curtain falls. It’s raw, thought-provoking, and impossible to forget.
Don’t miss your chance to witness one of theatre’s most influential masterpieces—reimagined for a new generation. A gripping psychological drama that shatters the illusion of a perfect marriage and challenges everything you think you know about love and sacrifice.
