A Doll’s House For free Performance
This free performance is exclusively for those aged 25 and under
Thu 16 Apr 7.30pm
If I get run over tomorrow, how are you paying the Amex off?
If you get run over tomorrow, why should I care because I am flinging myself into the road after you.
Nora and Torvald’s marriage vows are a binding contract, but when scandal threatens to wreck their lives, it’s time to renegotiate the terms. Money, sex, power – this time nothing’s off the table.
Romola Garai returns to the Almeida, following her Olivier Award-winning performance in The Years, to play Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s subversive domestic tragedy. In a new version by Critics’ Circle Theatre Award winner Anya Reiss (Becoming Elizabeth; The Seagull), Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Tragedy of King Richard the Second; Ghosts) directs this provocative drama about the lies we tell to keep things sweet at home.
Please note tickets are limited to two per booker for Almeida For Free: A Doll’s House. Any tickets booked over this number will be returned. This policy is in effect to discourage and prevent unfair ticket buying practices. Proof of age must be brought to the performance for each ticketholder.
We have a limited amount of extra tickets available for youth groups who would like to attend. Please contact participate@almeida.co.uk if you would like to request tickets for your group.
