A review by opendoor
A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen

5.0

SO so good. I wasn’t expecting the ending, but I think that says more about me than the play. Sorry for being vague, but I don’t feel like getting into spoilers because then we’ll be here for a while. I was surprised that this is from 1879 — I was thinking it had to be late 1800s from the dialogue (it was funny how out of place “thanks” felt), but the gender politics felt so modern that I started thinking 1920s. And like, I knew this was a famous feminist play. Even with that context, I was surprised. Very excited to see the live performance in NYC; Grace and I got tickets because Arian Moayed from Succession is playing the male lead, and after reading this, I’m glad we did.
