A
Doll's House Part 2 is an imagined
sequel to Henrick Isben’s classic 1879 play, A Doll's House. Isben ended his play (140 years ago) with Nora
slamming the door as she left Torvald, her overbearing husband and three
children. This was a gutsy and groundbreaking move for a character in the
1800’s. Many wondered what became of Nora
who was navigating
solo two
centuries ago.
In A
Doll's House Part 2 playwright Lucas Hnath picks up the story 15 years later. Nora not only survived on her
own,but in many ways flourished. Her return stirs up the lives of those that she
left behind in this comedic drama that contemplates the complex nature of marriage.
