"...Clearly, the groundbreaking play struck a chord with playwright Lucas Hnath - and a sequel to the famed Ibsen play was the result. A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 opens 15 years after Nora's fateful decision to strike out on her own and find herself. Standing at the same doorway through which she exited 15 years before, Nora (Mia Christou) is now knocking to re-enter her former residence and the life which it represented. Little has changed in the Helmer household. Nanny Anne Marie (Lisa Robins) is still there after assuming the role of caretaker and mother-substitute for Nora's children - now grown and ready to take on the adult roles which society has sketched out for them."

"...Directed by Mia Christou, Ibsen's 19th century serves as a handy preface for Part 2 (despite the problems inherent in this adaptation by herself and Barton). Yet Christou's checkered staging keeps us at an emotional distance from its characters, who come off as stock - particularly Torvald, who lacks any power of psychological introspection. Granted, that's partly due to the conventions of Ibsen's day, before Freudianism and the "Method" revolutionized theatrical models - but it registers as a deficit nonetheless."
