UMSU Union House Theatre
Presented by Union House Theatre
A radical new version by Stef Smith, after Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Xanthe Beesley and Liv Satchell
About the Show
Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything.
Henrik Ibsen’s brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new version reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women’s suffrage, the Swinging Sixties, and the modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks, ‘how far have we really come in the past hundred years?’
Nora: A Doll’s House will be performed in the Union Theatre, a venue that has served us since 1938!
Union House Theatre invites our community of students, staff, alumni, friends and family to celebrate the final UHT presented show in this venue, and to wish the community well for the big move to the new venues in the Arts and Cultural Building in the Student Precinct.
