A Doll House

Overview

Brisbane’s own Powerhouse Theatre is playing host to the Australian premier of A Doll House, the reimagination of Ibsen’s classic by Ireland’s Pan Pan Theatre.

In a brightly creative spin on the old tale, Pan Pan’s adaptation brings the play to modern day, where we find ourselves in the middle of Christmas with Nora Helmer, who is busying herself with presents and decorations and spending the money her husband hasn’t yet earned as the new bank manager. The symbolic and simple set brings forward the true tales this story can tell – examining relationships, social conventions, what it means to be human and the changes we make to discover who we are.

This poignant story is only on for a short time, and is recommended for those over 15 years of age. There will also be a free Q & A session following the Saturday and Sunday performances, which should prove worthwhile bring hosted by the folks of one of Ireland’s premier theatre companies.
