Overview
Fifteen years after Nora Helmer slammed the door on her stifling
domestic life, a knock comes at that same door. It is Nora, and she has
returned with an urgent request. However, before Nora can get what she
needs, she must reckon with the people she left in her wake, who have
some choice words for the former Mrs. Helmer. Lucas Hnath's funny,
probing, and bold new play is at once a continuation of Ibsen's complex
exploration of traditional gender roles while also creating a sharp
contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships.
