Henrik Ibsen

The Glass Door is an adaptation of Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen. In this version (in three acts), the play has been shortened and the dialogue revised to some extent, to make it easier for modern small and community theaters to produce, and for modern audiences to enjoy. Content warning: This play deals with themes and acts of suicide.

'Nobody in this house knows what I'm capable of.' With a comfortable home, successful husband and two beautiful children, Nora Helmer is the envy of many. But her happy home is built on false foundations. As long-buried secrets begin to surface, Nora wonders if what she has is the same as what she wants. Chris Bush's taut and gripping adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play is a powerful exploration of friendship, betrayal, dependency and liberation. It premiered at the Crucible, Sheffield Theatres, in 2024, directed by Elin Schofield.

Nora m ne une vie en apparence idyllique avec son mari Torvald et leurs enfants. Mais derri re cette fa ade se cache un mariage touffant o elle touffe. Trait e comme une poup e fragile par son poux, Nora lui a pourtant sauv la vie en empruntant de l'argent en secret pour financer un s jour salvateur en Italie. Lorsque son cr ancier, l'inqui tant Krogstad, menace de r v ler la v rit , le ch teau de cartes de Nora s'effondre. Confront e l' go sme de Torvald qui pense d'abord sa r putation, Nora prend conscience de la vacuit de son existence. Apr s une ultime explication avec son mari, elle claque la porte du foyer, abandonnant mari et enfants pour partir la d couverte d'elle-m me. Un d nouement aussi choquant que r volutionnaire pour l' poque. Avec ce drame intimiste d'une grande modernit , Ibsen dynamite l'institution sacr e du mariage. Il d nonce avec une ironie mordante la condition des femmes, prisonni res d'une soci t patriarcale qui les infantilise. V ritable bombe th trale lors de sa cr ation en 1879, "Une maison de poup e" n'a rien perdu de sa force subversive. Un texte fondateur du f minisme, qui n'a pas fini de faire parler de lui.
