A Doll's House, Part 2

South Coast Repertory
655 Town Center Drive Costa Mesa

In the final scene of Ibsen's classic A Doll's House, Nora makes the shocking decision to leave her husband and children. A door slams. The curtain falls on a stunned audience. Lucas Hnath continues Nora's story in this intriguing play with a decidedly modern perspective. Fifteen years have passed when there's a knock on that same door. Why is Nora back—and what will her return mean to those she left behind?

"...Nora's come back to the "doll's house" she once called home, though how long she'll stay is anybody's guess in Lucas Hnath's audacious, scabrous, wordy, discussion-prompting, and often surprisingly droll sequel to the Henrik Ibsen classic, the South Coast Repertory World Premiere of A Doll's House, Part 2."

"...One of the most intriguing uses of art is a conversation between an acknowledged masterpiece from the past and a current artist commenting upon it or adding to it in some way. Of course, this doesn't always work, but when it does, the results are often fascinating. Such is the case with Lucas Hnath's A Doll's House, Part 2, where the playwright examines the issues brought up in the Ibsen's classic play with complexity and empathy. The world premiere production at South Coast Repertory is bracingly intelligent and superbly performed."
