Adapted from Henrik Ibsen
Adapted and Directed by: Yoni Oppenheim
Original Songs and Score by: Bronwen Mullin
This adaptation of A DOLL’S HOUSE has the action reset from Christmas-time, in 19th century Oslo, to the Jewish holiday Purim, in present day New York. Nora, a modern Orthodox housewife is hiding a secret from her banker husband Torvald. Like Queen Esther before her, she risks everything to protect those she loves. As the traditional gender roles are being challenged in the Orthodox world today, from Haredi female entrepreneurs supporting their husbands to the Rabbas of the Modern Orthodox community, can our Doll House withstand the reverberations of a slamming door?
