A Doll’s House, Part 2 A Doll’s House, Part 2

A Doll’s House, Part 2  | 

May 14 — June 8

Nora’s back—15 years after walking out on her family—ready to confront the fallout of her iconic escape. Bold, satisfying, and packed with razor-sharp twists, Lucas Hnath’s Tony-nominated play dives into the messy reality of what it means to be a woman living on your own terms. It’s complicated. It’s witty. And it’s happening at Pasadena Playhouse. Get your tickets for A Doll’s House, Part 2 and don’t miss this audacious sequel 146 years after Ibsen’s classic.

“WAIT, I DON’T THINK I SAW A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 1…”

A Doll’s House, Part 2 (2017), is a “sequel” to one of the most influential plays in the history of theatre – Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House (1879). The good news is that you do not need to have seen the original to enjoy Part 2. All you need to know is that at the end of Ibsen’s play, Nora, a mother and wife, walks out on her husband and three young children. Slamming the door behind her—a moment frequently referred to as the slam heard around the world—she makes a dramatic exit that shocked audiences and shook the foundations of 19th-century theatre.
