Synopsis

Nora Helmer, wife to Torvald and mother of three children, appears to enjoy living the life of a pampered, indulged child.

But as her economic dependence becomes brutally clear, Nora's acceptance of the status quo undergoes a profound change.

To the horror of the bewildered Torvald, himself caught in the tight web of a conservative society which demands that he exert strict control, Nora comes to see that only possible true course of action is to leave the family home

Frank McGuinness's version of A Doll's House received its London premiere in October 1996 and opened on Broadway in 1997, where the production won four Tony Awards.
