A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen is a play in three acts written and translated in 1879 and performed the same year. The drama centres around an ordinary family Torvald Helmer, a bank lawyer, his wife Nora, and their three little children. A Doll's House is a classic fiction masterpiece of theatrical craft which, was the first of its time to portray the tragic hypocrisy of Victorian middle-class marriage. The play deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfilment in a male-dominated world.Bringing in a new social era it exploded like a bomb into contemporary life and is a must read for anyone interested in the work of Henrik Ibsen.
