A Doll’s House
Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain stars in this thrilling reinvention of Ibsen’s A DOLL’S HOUSE. Directed by Tony nominee Jamie Lloyd, one of contemporary theater’s most revolutionary auteurs, and adapted by acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog, this new production makes freshly relevant a story that shocked audiences and brought forth a new era of theater.
The play concerns the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It was a great sensation at the time and caused a “storm of outraged controversy” that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society. In 2006, the centennial of Ibsen’s death, A Doll’s House held the distinction of being the world’s most performed play that year.
The title of the play is most commonly translated as A Doll’s House, though some scholars use A Doll House. John Simon says that A Doll’s House is “the British term for what [Americans] call a ‘dollhouse'”. Egil Törnqvist says of the alternative title: “Rather than being superior to the traditional rendering, it simply sounds more idiomatic to Americans.”
