A Doll's House

Overview

It's the age old story of a seemingly picture perfect life from the outside but inside, the reality is far from it. Nora and Theo Helmer are perfectly on-trend with their sugar-free and eco-conscious credentials, but behind this mindful millennial veneer is a tangled mess of lies and secrets.

Award-winning New Zealand author Emily Perkins has adapted Henrik Ibsen's play and switched 19th century Norway for present day New Zealand. When A Doll's House was first performed in 1879 it caused a cloud of controversy and this modern day adaptation at Wellington's Circa Theatre promises to rattle you.

If you need further enticement there's a free live rehearsal at Unity Books and a special preview on Friday 5 August with tickets for $30.
