The Bluma Appel Theatre season is underwritten by:
A Doll’s House
A Canadian Stage Production
A fresh perspective on a literary touchstone
Nora appears to be the perfect wife, but beneath the surface she harbours a secret that threatens to unravel her seemingly happy world. As the truth emerges, Nora gradually awakens to her own desires, and the play builds toward a radical act of self-liberation.
In this crisp, strikingly modern adaptation, Artistic Director Brendan Healy (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Inheritance) revitalizes another groundbreaking classic, making it more immediate, intimate, and electrifying than ever with an extraordinary ensemble of Canadian acting talent.
