Synopsis :

Nora Helmer has a secret―a necessary lie that, when discovered, breaks her provincial bourgeois home and awakens her to the oppression of her marriage and the suppression of her own discontent. For Nora, it’s also an opportunity to escape from her controlling husband and a chance to be recognized not only as a wife or a mother but as a human being.

Upending expectations for domestic drama and the traditional roles of men and women, A Doll’s House shocked the world, sparked debates about gender and marriage, and changed theater history.

À propos de l'auteur:

Henrik Johan Ibsen (1828–1906) was a nineteenth-century Norwegian theater producer, poet, and three-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Born to a merchant family in the port town of Skein, Ibsen’s career began at the Det norske Theater in Bergen, where he served as producer, director, and writer. After the failure of his first ten plays, Ibsen finally gained critical attention with Peer Gynt. Its unsentimental realism and disregard for convention would become the hallmarks of Ibsen’s liberating and controversial dramas that followed, notably An Enemy of the People, A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabler, and Ghosts. A cofounder of the modernist movement, Ibsen was a foremost influence on writers such as George Bernard Shaw, Eugene O’Neill, and Arthur Miller.

Robert Farquharson Sharp (1864–1945) was a translator and literary historian. In addition to A Doll’s House, Sharp translated Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts, The Wild Duck, Pillars of Society, and An Enemy of the People. Sharp’s own works include Architects of English Literature and A Short History of the English Stage.
