A Doll’s House

January 11 – March 4, 2018 – EXTENDED

By Henrik Ibsen

In a version by Simon Stephens

Production Co-Conceived by Jorge Cousineau and Terrence J. Nolen

Directed by Terrence J. Nolen

On the Arcadia Stage

Runtime: 2 hours and 35 minutes, with one intermission.

 

Nora and Torvald are living their dream life with the brightest of futures. And then a long-buried secret rises to the surface, and Nora must choose between outward perfection and inner truth. Still shockingly relevant, this revolutionary classic will be brought to life in the intimacy of the Arcadia Stage.

“Katherine Powell’s unexpected performance in the lead role …makes the Arden Theatre Company production a stand out.”

“The play (I’m sorry to say) feels timelier than ever.”

“As women speak up and are emboldened to find who they are in a world that often seems to define them and quiet them, this show walks alongside the cause and fights the good fight in a way that is simply shocking.”

This #MeToo moment feels like a fitting time for the Arden Theatre to stage A Doll’s House.

It’s a fitting staging: Using a nuanced 2013 adaptation by Simon Stephens, Arden’s production regains the naturalistic dialog and interactions of Ibsen’s text, while focusing on themes pertinent to current cultural conversations”
