“What is worth saving?” This question still echoes nearly 150 years after Henrik Ibsen first constructed A Doll’s House. With this sensational story about a dark secret that threatens to destroy a family, Ibsen created drama’s very first feminist. And in its heroine, Nora Helmer, Ibsen brought the struggle for personal liberation to vivid life. In this World Premiere adaptation, acclaimed director Justin Emeka (Sweat, Romeo and Juliet) reimagines A Doll’s House in 1950s New Jersey, weaving Black culture into one of the most powerful plays ever experienced.
