A Doll's House Author: One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, displaying Ibsen's genius for realistic prose drama. A classic expression of women's rights, the play builds to a climax in which the central character, Nora, rejects a smothering marriage and life in "a doll's house."

Considered to be the first feminist play, this 3 act play takes place at Christmas time in Nora and Torvald's home. Nora informs her old friend Christine that she took a loan from Krogstad unbeknownst to her husband in order to pay for a trip to Italy for them to save his life. Unfortunately, he is about to find out all.
I thoroughly enjoyed this play. The characters are three-dimensional and believable. The dialogue is easy to read. The setting is all in one room, which I always find fun. The ending left me a bit puzzled (by which I mean the very last few seconds), and I was a bit annoyed with Torvald in the first act. These things kept me from loving it, but I still liked it very much.
I would recommend this play to lovers of classic theater, as well as those interested in feminism and gender roles.

I root on Nora
A great play about a woman attempting to make it in a man's world, while all the while she is feeling doll in a doll house where the men control everything.
