Lucas Hnaths Tony Award-nominated play, described as smart, funny, and utterly engrossing, by The New York Times, is a contemporary sequel to the naturalist classic by Henrik Ibsen, A Dolls House (1879). In the Ibsen play, Nora Helmer recognizes her marriage to her husband Torvald to be a prison, and walks out him, famously slamming the door at the end of the play. Hnath imagines Nora and Torvald fifteen years later, in a reckoning that expands on Ibsens searing exploration of marriage and demonstrates its continued relevance to contemporary life.
