A Doll's House
Specially commissioned to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Southwark Playhouse, Samuel Adamson's new version of A Doll's House brings zest to this classic play.
Thus, the story of Nora, the delicate and over-protected wife of Torvald Helmer, who bravely walks away from her confined marriage in a quest for freedom and self-enlightenment, remains poignant and real for modern-day audiences. NaIvely, Nora has secretly borrowed money tor her husband by forging her father's signature. Krogstad, her creditor, has discovered her fraud and threatens to expose her in order to ruin Torvald. When Torvald finally finds out, Nora is appalled that he would protect his own reputation rather than support her.
'Samuel Adamson's new version, of] A Doll's House re-emerges as a dark fairy-tale able to bring a chill to children of all ages as they sit in the falsely reassuring glow of a twinkling Christmas tree ... The inexorable logic of Ibsen's careful plotting remains spellbinding.' Robert Shore, Time Out
