About this listen

Nora Helmers is her husband Torvald's adorable 'little doll'. Pretty and doll-like in her doll's house with her healthy children and seemingly respectable life, she and her family have it all... or so it seems. Behind closed doors, like a lot of Ibsen's antiheroines, Nora is unhappy and unfulfilled. She is thoughtful, intelligent and trapped, playing the role of a dutiful wife in a situation that doesn't arouse any of her passions, in a society that believes that she shouldn't have any. A fascinating before-its-time window onto a world where expectations of women were streets apart from the contemporary world, Ibsen's masterpiece is a study in strength, determination and hard choices against all the odds.

Full cast: Laura Carmichael, Edward Harrison, Christopher Dane, Sarah Whitehouse, Harry Myers, Jessica Dennis, Josephine Arden.

These 3 plays feels so contemporary, despite so much change in society in 100 years and more since they were written. Ibsen’s husbands are smug, deluded and irritating. His wives unfulfilled, passionate, wrestling with morality and desperately trying to find themselves… the plays are still excellent, the performances varied from very good to unconvincing: such as the very well-spoken elocuted accents of british actors declaiming their poverty and struggles with money.. but overall a fine introduction to this writers work.

Timeless, shocking and powerful
