A DOLL’S HOUSE – Elysium Theatre Company

A DOLL' S HOUSE

by Henrik Ibsen translated by Michael Meyer

"**** A captivating classic. The company brings new and classic work to the northeast that may not otherwise be seen and, judging by the audience, there is an appetite for it and it is definitely appreciated."

"The unravelling of the relationship is agonising to watch.The seemingly idyllic nature of the marriage slowly and painfully crumbles before our eyes as its illusions are stripped away by events."

"The cast’s textbook performances alone are enough do justice to Ibsen’s genius."

"Sharp, arresting and deeply compelling. Ibsen’s depiction of the earnest, harsh realities of ordinary people that mark this text as one of the first great naturalistic plays are displayed in their full splendour by this company."

"As powerful today as it was when it shocked European audiences."
