Thrilling reinvention of Ibsen’s original 1879 play about the fate of a married woman who lacks opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world
What's A Doll's House Like?
The play concerns the fate of a married woman, who lacks opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world. She has an epiphany when she realizes her husband only cares about appearances and loves himself above all other things. This is when she begins to make plans for her future without him.
This play was not directly written as feminist propaganda, but has since been recognized as such. Feminist groups around the world recognize this writing as the birth of modern feminism in Europe.
Is A Doll's House Good for Kids?
The feminist adult subject matter may be just too much for children under the age of 16 years old.
