A Doll’s House thrust drama firmly into the modern age when it premiered in 1879. Now, nearly a century-and-a-half later, acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog makes freshly relevant a story that shocked audiences and brought forth a new era of theatre.

“I've been working with Samuel French for many years on my new plays, and I'm thrilled to reunite with their wonderful team on my very first adaptation,” said Herzog. “At a moment where women's rights are imperiled at home and abroad, I know Concord Theatricals will shepherd this timeless feminist classic and help Ibsen find a new audience for his masterwork.”

“Amy’s version of A Doll’s House deftly cuts to the heart of the complexity of Nora’s rich, inner conflict.” said Amy Rose Marsh, Vice President of Acquisitions & Artistic Development at Concord Theatricals. “Her masterful use of language makes this influential work feel urgent and remarkably relatable. We are proud to represent this incredible piece of writing.”

On March 9, 2023, A Doll’s House opened at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre for a limited engagement through June 10. Directed by Jamie Lloyd and starring Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain as Nora Helmer, the show received six 2023 Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Revival of a Play.
