Ibsen's play has been reworked as a savagely funny version by Olivier Award-Winning Simon Stephens. And what a tour de force it is. It manages to be both moving and gripping.
Award-winning Hattie Morahan gives her five-star performance of a lifetime as Nora Helmer, alongside excellent Dominic Rowan, who plays her husband Torvald.
Beautifully directed by critically acclaimed Carrie Cracknell the action takes place in a single exquisite revolving set by Ian MacNeil.
To say it is the best play I have seen on the London stage with year would be no exaggeration. The 1h 40m first half simply flew by; the 1h final act stayed but a moment. Glorious acting. A glorious production.
It is making a well-deserved transfer to Broadway.
