Back Cover The earliest of Ibsens social-problem plays, A Dolls House catapulted him to international recognition. Combining technique and content in the plays realism, he employed natural dialogue and situations; insisted on the logical necessity of the outcome (without forcing a happy ending); and elevated playmaking to a level above mere entertainment by validating the respectability of plays about social issues. In a time of womens growing discontent with their role in society, Ibsen presented a searing view of male domination. The reverberations of Noras slamming the door as she leaves Torvald continue to the present day. Nicholas Rudall, justly celebrated for his translations of Ibsen, again provides a play of power and speakability. Author Biography The Plays for Performance series is edited by Nicholas Rudall, former artistic director of the Court Theatre at the University of Chicago where he is professor of classics, and Bernard Sahlins, founder and director of the Second City. They both live in Chicago, Illinois. Review Maybe its Nicholas Rudalls new translation. Maybe its a matter of the gods. I couldnt put [A Dolls House] down. Its tight, and terse—reads like a fine short novel. -- Lolita Lark * The Review of Arts, Literature, Philosophy and the Humanities * Long Description Ibsens seminal play, which changed modern drama, is a searing view of a male-dominated and authoritarian society, presented with a realism that elevates theatre to a level above mere entertainment.
