Northern Stage Presents
A Doll's House
by Henrik Ibsen
Translated by Frank McGuinness Directed by Erica Whyman
Could you deceive your partner in order to save their life?
Who would stand by you if you faced humiliation for doing what you believed was right?
In 1950s England, the Helmer family seem picture perfect. Torvald is a newly promoted banker. His wife, Nora, is a model housewife, playing the perfect hostess, raising their
children and happy in her life as Torvald’s pretty little ‘doll-wife’. But Nora is keeping a secret that threatens to damage her family’s reputation and change their lives forever. Ibsen’s classic is the tale of a heartrending moral dilemma as Nora
discovers there is more to life than being the perfect wife. Bursting out of a picture of 1950s domestic bliss, American Beauty meets Desperate Housewives in a rollercoaster of a play as one happy family realises life will never be the same again.
