First published in 1879, Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House is a groundbreaking modern drama that forever changed the theatre.
The play centers on Nora Helmer, whose marriage appears secure and harmonious until a long-buried secret forces her to confront the truth about her husband, her home, and herself.
Bold, subtle, and deeply human, A Doll's House is both a gripping domestic drama and a timeless work about self-discovery, dignity, and the struggle to live as an independent individual.
This is the English-language paperback edition of the play.
