A Doll's House, Part 2


by Lucas Hnath
directed by Margo Whitcomb

produced January 23-February 10, 2019
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.

[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.

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.

...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."  ​

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.
