Touring around Aotearoa for the first time, the award-winning theatre production 'A Doll's House' is set to make waves in Dunedin , Nelson , and Hamilton this September. Originally commissioned for Auckland Theatre Company's season and last performed in Wellington's Circa Theatre in , 'A Doll's House' is a "provocative", "visceral" and "skilful adaptation" of the Henrik Ibsen classic.
The story revolves around a woman named Nora Helmer who is living out the ideal life of a 19th-century wifeβhaving a successful and attractive husband, a big house and two charming children. As Christmas festivities get underway, events from the past return to wreak havoc in paradise. Nora's life begins to fracture, leaving her trapped inside a web of secrets and lies. Will the truth set her free or is she in too deep?
Cleverly exposing the power and gender dynamics within a marriage, this version of the explosive story has been re-contextualised in a modern Aotearoa complete with a sugar-free, eco-conscious lifestyle. Celebrated New Zealand writer Emily Perkins has created a masterpiece in her first work for the stageβexploring the social straitjackets we find ourselves in and revealing how much or how little has changed since the Ibsen original, framed by questions of societal expectations and identity.
Returning to the role of Nora is the outstanding Sophie Hambleton TV's Westside , whose "searing" performance in the Wellington premiere at Circa Theatre was critically acclaimed.
Sophie Fulton had a feature role in the Universal Studios film 'Mortal Engines', released last year and also has a wealth of stage experience. The role of her twin brother Billy will be filled by a young local actor in each of the three centres where the show is touring to.
