Theater: A Doll's House, Part 2



Written by: Lucas Hnath
Starring: Laurie Metcalf, Chris Cooper, Jayne Houdyshell and Condola Rashad
Directed by: Sam Gold

A Doll's House, Part 2 is described as follows: "In the final scene of Ibsen's 1879 groundbreaking masterwork, Nora Helmer makes the shocking decision to leave her husband and children, and begin a life on her own. This climactic event — when Nora slams the door on everything in her life — instantly propelled world drama into the modern age. In A Doll's House, Part 2, many years have passed since Nora's exit. Now, there's a knock on that same door. Nora has returned. But why? And what will it mean for those she left behind?"
