Nora

Written by Henrik Ibsen and Ingmar Bergman

"The late master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman streamlined Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to expose the contemporary heart of the 19th century masterpiece. Taut with suspense, this critically-acclaimed adaptation focuses on Nora, a young wife and mother who exploits her childlike charm to survive in a man’s world. But Nora has a secret that threatens her cozy existence, and she begins a perilous journey to find her way out.

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.
