In 1879, Henrik Ibsen’s heroine Nora Helmer walked out the door, leaving her husband, children, and societal constraints behind her; Ibsen’s revolutionary play A Doll’s House propelled world drama into the modern age. Now, in an age when women’s issues are even more in the spotlight, Lucas Hnath is revisiting the Helmer household in a bitingly funny and fascinating sequel to Ibsen’s masterpiece. It’s been 15 years since Nora walked out, but suddenly, she’s back—with an incredibly awkward favor to ask. The Obie-winning A Doll’s House, Part 2 will begin a 5-week regional premiere run on Thursday, October 25.
