Nora: A Doll's House by Stef Smith, original author Henrik Ibsen
16 March, 7.15pm, Post Show Q&A
20 March, 7.15pm, Captioned Performance
‘You’ve lies in the whites of your eyes, Nora. What have you done…?’
Nora is the epitome of the perfect wife and mother. She is caring, dutiful and manages her house beautifully. But her immaculate life begins to unravel when a secret from her past emerges. Over the next three days Nora must fight to protect herself and her family. But along the way, she begins to question her marriage and her role in society.
Stef Smith’s poetic version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is reframed in three different time periods – 1918 during the fight for suffrage, the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, and finally in 2018 with the changed and unrealistic expectations on both women and men.
She is asking how far we have come in the last 100 years as three women with different lives navigated the same journey.
