Description

Nora loves her husband above everything. But when she risks her reputation in order to save him, the consequences force her to examine her devotion, and she finds herself struggling for her own life. Henrik Ibsen's ground-breaking play created a huge sensation at its premiere in 1879 and is as fresh and pertinent as ever, with an unfading capacity to shock.

Ibsen's masterwork lays out a provocation to play around inside the heads of its characters - and get inside yours * The Stage *
An accomplished adaptation from Bryony Levary * Daily Telegraph *
Lavery's subtly modern version makes light work out of explanation-laden conversations - while understanding crucially that it's what's not being said between husband and wife that counts most * Daily Telegraph *
