“As women speak up and are emboldened to find who they are in a world that often seems to define them and quiet them, this show walks alongside the cause and fights the good fight in a way that is simply shocking.”

“This #MeToo moment feels like a fitting time for the Arden Theatre to stage A DOLL’S HOUSE. It’s a fitting staging: Using a nuanced 2013 adaptation by Simon Stephens, Arden’s production regains the naturalistic dialog and interactions of Ibsen’s text, while focusing on themes pertinent to current cultural conversations”
