A Doll's House, Part 2
|
In the final scene of Ibsen’s 1879 groundbreaking masterwork, Nora Helmer makes the shocking decision to leave her husband and children and begin a life on her own. This climactic event—when Nora slams the door on everything in her life—instantly propelled world drama into the modern age. In A Doll's House, Part 2, there’s a knock on the door many years later. Nora has returned. But why? And what will it mean for those she left behind?
A Doll's House, Part 2 is appropriate for ages 14 & up. Some mild adult language and themes. Running Time: 90 minutes with no intermission. Cast Jena Necrason as Nora Wayne Tetrick* as Torvald Clarise Fearn as Emmy Emme Erdossy as Anne Marie Production Team Scenic Designer: Jeff Modereger Lighting Designer: John B.

"[A] smart, funny and utterly engrossing play…Hnath approaches what might seem like a hubristic project with the humility and avidity of an engaged Everyreader. A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 gives vibrant theatrical life to the conversations that many of us had after first reading or seeing its prototype..." —NY Times "[A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2] delivers explosive laughs while also posing thoughtful questions about marriage, gender inequality and human rights…as much an ingenious elaboration and deconstruction of A Doll’s House as a sequel, and it stands perfectly well on its own…With unfussy eloquence, [the play] asks how much, in a century-plus, life has changed for Nora and women like her in a world that often still has firm ideas about where they belong." —The Hollywood Reporter "Hnath’s inspired writing, which endows each character with an arsenal of fastballs, curveballs and spitballs, keep[s] us disarmingly off-balance. He’s an uncommonly gifted parodist. For all its seriousness, A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 is suffused with a contagious bemusement." —Deadline.com "Vermont Stage Company’s production proved a delightfully entertaining and human mix of hurt and humor, feminism and feminism gone awry, and people just being people." —The Times Argus "...Whitcomb honors the text's big ideas by giving the conflicting points due gravity. The final effect on last Thursday's audience could be overheard as people continued the thought-provoking debate while making their way out of the theater." —Seven Days * Actor appears courtesy of Actors Equity Association.
