Theatre

A Doll's House

From 21 Aug 2013 to 25 Oct 2013

The sell-out Young Vic production of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House has transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre for a 12-week run.

Adapted by Olivier Award-winner Simon Stephens, the play is directed by Carrie Cracknel and stars Hattie Morahan as Nora Helmer and Dominic Rowan as her husband Torvald.

First staged in 1879 in Copenhagen, the play aroused great controversy at the time as it ends with Nora leaving her husband and children because she wants to discover herself.

In 2006 UNESCO awarded it with the title of the world’s most performed play. The Duke of York's Theatre opened in 1892 as the Trafalgar Square Theatre, before changing to its current name in 1895 to honour the future King George V.
