Lucas Hnath’s Tony Award-nominated play, described as “smart, funny, and utterly engrossing,” by The New York Times, is a contemporary sequel to the naturalist classic by Henrik Ibsen, A Doll’s House (1879). In the Ibsen play, Nora Helmer recognizes her marriage to her husband Torvald to be a prison, and walks out him, famously slamming the door at the end of the play. Hnath imagines Nora and Torvald fifteen years later, in a reckoning that expands on Ibsen’s searing exploration of marriage and demonstrates its continued relevance to contemporary life.
