"More than most of Ibsen’s major plays, “A Doll’s House” reflects the specific social mores and manners of its 19th-century setting. A sensation when it was first produced in Europe, it established the playwright, somewhat misleadingly, as a proto-feminist and a smasher of social shibboleths. Ibsen was hailed for his radical ideas about the subservience of women in male-dominated society, but he later said that he was “more the poet and less the social philosopher than people generally seem inclined to believe.” If “A Doll’s House” is to be revitalized today, we need to see through the play’s well-made surfaces to its spiritual depths." - from review by Charles Isherwood.
