The Actors' Program Presents Nora a Dolls House

Nora Helmer tries hard to be the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect homemaker - but under the veneer she’s close to cracking. Finding herself at an impassable crossroad, Nora has a radical decision to make as secrets and lies tear at the seams, pulling apart everything she has ever known.
1918. 1968. 2018. This bold adaptation by Stef Smith reframes the drama of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House in a cleverly intertwined contemporary retelling over three distinct and pivotal decades in women’s history.
Kitan Petkovski (The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven) directs Smith's award-winning adaptation for The Actors’ Program.
