First performed at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on December 21, 1879, A Dolls House is one of Henrik Ibsens most famous plays. It is the story of Nora Helmer who has secretly borrowed a large sum of money to help her husband recover from a serious illness, sometime prior to the beginning of the play. Nora who has borrowed this money by forging her fathers signature soon fears that her secret will be discovered when her husband, Torvald, becomes director of the bank and fires an associate, Nils Krogstad, who knows of Noras transgression. When Krogstad threatens to reveal Noras secret, she begs her husband not to fire him, however, he refuses. The tension that arises in Nora and Torvalds marriage ultimately comes to a head when Torvald finally learns of the forgery. A gripping drama about a failing, loveless marriage, A Dolls House was very controversial when it debuted, because of its critical attitude toward 19thcentury marriage norms. Ibsen himself believed that the male dominated society of the 19thcentury society failed to allow women to truly be themselves, and thus advocated, through his work, for an advancement of womens rights. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper and includes an introduction by William Archer.
