‘A Doll’s House’ is a three-act play written in 1879 and is noted for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman and reflects the lack of opportunities Norwegian women had for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world. It is a “modern tragedy” that changed theatre forever. The message that a marriage was not sacrosanct, that a man’s authority in his home should not go unchallenged and that the prime duty of anyone was to find out who he or she really is and to become that person, shocked audiences and still resonates with them today. The controversy it caused went beyond the theatre to the world newspapers and society. The Classic Theatre’s production is set in 1950s America and has a Mad Men flair.
