About this book

Ibsen's landmark play unfolds over three acts in a comfortable Norwegian household where nothing is quite as settled as it looks. Nora Helmer seems the happy, pampered wife of a rising bank manager, but she carries a secret: years earlier she forged a signature to borrow the money that saved her husband's life. When the man who lent it threatens to expose her, the marriage's cheerful surface cracks, and Nora comes to see how little her husband and her society have ever regarded her as a person in her own right. Her final decision stunned audiences in 1879 and still lands with force today.
