A Doll House

Written by Henrik Ibsen

Narrated by Calista Flockhart, Gregory Itzin, Jeannie Elias and 3 more

Nora Helmer has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora’s well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Ibsen’s play is as fresh today as it was when it first stormed the stages of 19th-century Europe.

Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater, UCLA in September, 2011.

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright who thrived during the late nineteenth century. He began his professional career at age 15 as a pharmacist’s apprentice. He would spend his free time writing plays, publishing his first work Catilina in 1850, followed by The Burial Mound that same year. He eventually earned a position as a theatre director and began producing his own material. Ibsen’s prolific catalogue is noted for depicting modern and real topics. His major titles include Brand, Peer Gynt and Hedda Gabler.

Reviews for A Doll House

[MitraSalehi · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A woman’s heart... very beautifully written and great performance ??

One size fits all acting, if you've heard one LATW you've heard them all, in this case Yorvald is simplified into Homer Simpson, but better than Librivox.
