A Doll’s House – by Henrik Ibsen

A Doll’s House, written by Henrik Ibsen and first performed in 1879, is a groundbreaking realist play that challenged the traditional roles of women in 19th-century European society. The story follows Nora Helmer, a seemingly happy wife and mother, who comes to question her place in a marriage built on control, appearances, and social expectation.

As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Nora undergoes a powerful transformation, culminating in one of the most iconic endings in modern theatre. The play’s themes of individual freedom, gender roles, and societal pressure continue to resonate deeply with contemporary audiences.
