Overview

1994 Revised Version.

Revived by The York Theatre Company to acclaim, this reworking of the original Broadway script and score puts this hauntingly beautiful show within the reach of smaller producing groups. Thirteen actors double in several roles and two pianos create the sights and sounds of 19th-century Norway as Nora, Ibsen’s heroine from A Doll's House, tries to make her way in a male-dominated society after she slams the door on her former life.
