NORA: A DOLL'S HOUSE
"I see now our home has been nothing but a playroom. I am a doll-wife."
Henrik Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood in Nora: A Doll's House caused riots when first performed in 1879. This bold new version by Stef Smith reframes the drama across three different time periods.
Performed by graduating actors of Bath Theatre Academy. What does it mean to be a woman, a wife, a mother? How do you escape a structure designed to lock you in?
