Synopsis
First performed in Copenhagen in 1879. Christmas Eve. Excitement and love filled the Helmer's apartment. Nora is her husband's cherished 'songbird' and the romance of their marriage has been played out over the years. But beneath the carefree surface of their lives, the secret of how Nora saved her husband's life begins to emerge. Tension increases as the characters react against one another and this taut and gripping drama ends as Nora demands her right to individual freedom. One of the great landmark plays of the nineteenth century.

Carrie Cracknell’s revival of Ibsen’s great play about money, marriage and misery is finally worth it for the final scene; a rough, raw, dead-of-night showdown between Hattie Morahan’s disintegrating Nora Helmer and Dominic Rowan’s hilariously weak-kneed Torvald.
Critics may sit back in their seats waiting for the door slam, but the Young Vic audience is on the edge of theirs, heedless of the play’s venerable status, as indeed is Simon Stephens’s quicksilver “version” (from a literal translation by Charlotte Barslund).
Ibsen’s three acts are set in the drawing room, but Cracknell and designer Ian MacNeil give us the whole apartment, which revolves like a crazy carousel, taking us into Nora’s bedroom, Torvald’s study, the dining room, the hallway; this is great for the “hide-and-seek” game with the children but soon becomes inefficient and confusing.
There is also a large stair...

Paul Wallis - 18 May 2013:
Do not miss the chance to see this production when it transfers to the West End stage. I saw it twice at the Young Vic, it's a truly innovative staging of this classic play. Hattie Morahan's Nora is one of the finest performances I've seen on stage, a brilliant & illuminating portrayal that perfectly captures every aspect of her character & plight ...
