Title: A doll's house
Description: Frank McGuinness's lucid version of 'A Doll's House' received its West End première in October 1996. Written in the 19th century the play provides a classic view of the status of women in European society. Ibsen's 1879 play shocked its first audiences with its radical insights into the social roles of husband and wife. His portrayal of his flawed heroine, Nora, remains one of the most striking dramatic depictions of late-nineteenth century woman.
