A Doll’s House at the Almeida reimagines Ibsen as a critique of capitalist excess
The protagonist Nora borrows nearly a million from an oil-rich client’s account to maintain an extravagant lifestyle. This narrative choice shifts the focus of Henrik Ibsen’s original play from a critique of patriarchal constructs to a critique of the capitalist system. In this adaptation by Anya Reiss, Nora is a university-educated woman navigating the world of investment banking. The play portrays a system where financial greed leads to degradation.
