Written by Ibsen in 1879, A Doll’s House is a three-act drama about a wealthy woman and her financially strapped husband. It challenged traditional ideas of marriage in the nineteenth century and has since become one of the world’s most recognized plays.

Stephens’ A Doll House premiered at the Young Vic in July 2012, where it extended twice due to popular demand. The production includes set design by Ian MacNeil, costume design by Gabrielle Dalton, lighting design by Guy Hoare, music design by Stuart Earl, sound design by David McSeveney and choreography by Quinny Sacks.
