'I think I'm a human being before anything else. I don't care what
other people say. I don't care what people write in books. I need
to think for myself.' Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House premiered in
1879 in Copenhagen, the second in a series of realist plays by
Ibsen, and immediately provoked controversy with its apparently
feminist message and exposure of the hypocrisy of Victorian
middle-class marriage. In Ibsen's play, Nora Helmer has secretly
(and deceptively) borrowed a large sum of money to pay for her
husband, Torvald, to recover from illness on a sabbatical in Italy.
Torvald's perception of Nora is of a silly, naive spendthrift, so
it is only when the truth begins to emerge, and Torvald appreciates
the initiative behind his wife, that unmendable cracks appear in
their marriage. This compelling new version of Ibsen's masterpiece
by playwright Simon Stephens premiered at the Young Vic Theatre,
London, on 29 June 2012. It was updated with minor changes in 2013.
