A Doll's House at Las Vegas Little Theatre

Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 play was a scandal when it premiered in Denmark. Today, it’s a beloved classic.It tells the story of a family brought to the brink by society’s restrictions on women.

The protagonist is anguished housewife Nora (played by Olivia Hernando), who spent years paying off a secret loan she took to save her sick husband’s life. Since women had no rights in society, Nora had no other way to secure the funds. Thus, her good deed becomes a source of shame and strife. By the play’s end, Nora must escape her constrictive “doll’s house.”

Jane Walsh directs this Tony award-winning adaptation by Frank McGuinness. In a 1997 review, The New York Times described the play as an “iconoclastic portrayal of a woman who leaves her marriage to find herself, [which] assumed an instant, thundering social significance.”

Stay tuned for Las Vegas Little Theatre’s upcoming production of A Doll’s House, Part 2, which will run May 3-19. There’s a $5 per ticket discount if you spring for both plays at the same time. Times vary, $16. –C. Moon Reed
