Drama

A Northern Stage production of Henrik Ibsen's
A Doll's House
A version by Frank McGuinness
Directed by Erica Whyman
Designed by Soutra Gilmour

Could you deceive your husband in order to save his life?

The Helmer family seem picture perfect. Torvald is a newly promoted banker. His wife, Nora, is a model housewife, playing the perfect hostess, raising their children and happy in her life as Torvald’s pretty little ‘doll-wife’. But Nora is keeping a secret that threatens to damage her family’s reputation and change their lives forever...

 

Respectfully relocated to the 1950’s, Ibsen’s classic is a tense, emotional rollercoaster played out on a spectacular glass-house set, where the walls can’t hide the secrets. A Doll’s House is the heart-rending tale of the ultimate moral dilemma as Nora discovers there might be more to life than being the perfect wife and mother.

Starring: Tilly Gaunt, John Kirk, Karen Traynor, Chris Myles, Rosalind Bailey and James Wooley.
