Summary
Fifteen years after Nora Helmer slammed the door on her stifling domestic life, she is knocking at that same door, having returned with an urgent request for her former husband. Before Nora can get what she needs, she must reckon with the people she left, all of whom have some choice words for the former Mrs. Helmer. Lucas Hnath’s funny, probing and bold new play A Doll’s House, Part 2 is at once a continuation of Ibsen’s complex exploration of traditional gender roles while also creating a sharp contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships.
“To go from dreaming about Nora’s life to writing it required a leap of faith – an author’s faith in his own imagination – and that’s the kind of energy that jumps out at you from Hnath’s play, his strongest yet. It’s a treat to watch his Nora come to life without sacrificing the emotional and political architecture that Ibsen built into and around her.”
“The funniest and the sharpest play of the year… not so much a sequel to Henrik Ibsen’s proto-feminist groundbreaker of 1879 as it is a heartfelt meditation on how far we’ve come in the century and a quarter since.”
