Reviews are in for Nora: A Doll’s House, now open at the Young Vic Theatre in London. Stef Smith’s adaptation of the Ibsen play sends the title character on a time-traveling mission, exploring how far women’s rights have progressed in the last 100 years.

The play re-frames the drama in three different time periods: the women’s suffrage movement, the Swinging '60s in London, and present day. The play was recently named a finalist for the 2020 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

Directed by Elizabeth Freestone, the production stars Mark Arends, Natalie Klamar, Luke Norris, Amaka Okafor, Anna Russell-Martin, Zephryn Taitte.
