Sometimes it takes a friend to show us that the cage door is already open.
Nora Helmer, her husband and three acquaintances circle around each other within the beautiful but oppressive confines of nineteenth-century society. Will they continue to reset the trap, or embolden each other to break free?
As another Christmas comes and goes in the Helmer household, a tree is decorated, a party is planned, and old debts resurface. Gripped in what seems like a hopeless situation, Nora tries multiple ways to find her own freedom. But can she avoid becoming complicit through her very survival tactics?
Henrik Ibsen’s masterpiece speaks directly to us from a small Norwegian town over 140 years ago. With its ‘brisk and thriller-like plotting’ (The Guardian), complex characters and compelling theme, this groundbreaking play has retained its relevance for audiences throughout the decades.
Keswick Theatre Club brings you a new translation that goes back to the startling power of the original.
