A Doll's House cover

In this new version, Ibsen's classic emerges as a thoroughly modern and edgy thriller for our times.

Nora loves her husband above everything. But when she risks her reputation in order to save him, the consequences force her to examine her devotion, and she finds herself struggling for her own life. Henrik Ibsen's ground-breaking play created a huge sensation at its premiere in 1879 and is as fresh and pertinent as ever, with an unfading capacity to shock Disappointments in Love" and Mary Webb's "Precious Bane."
