“I’ve got to find out which view is the right one, society’s or mine…”
On Christmas Eve, Nora Helmer, whose world is built entirely around her domineering husband, must confront blackmail, financial ruin, the consequences of her past actions, and the unsettling truth about her life.
Legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman’s adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece, A Doll’s House distills the play down to its essential core. Director Cameron Watson (Top Girls, Picnic, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, The Little Foxes) explores the passion and heart of a woman — and a marriage — in crisis.
