Smith has maintained the core events of Ibsen's original play but refracted the story in three different periods: 1918, when women had the first chance to vote in the UK; 1968, when abortion was legalised in the UK (apart from Northern Ireland), oral contraceptives were available, and the second wave of feminism was rising; and 2018, a year after the #MeToo movement put sexual violence and discrimination against women at the centre of public debate and highlighted the need for action despite alleged progress. Dialoguing with each other and echoing the progressive disillusion that Nora feels, the three actors create an indelible impression of shared experiences of love, personal choice, self-realisation, and constrained options for women across time. © Marc Brenner The male characters in Nora: A Doll's House also provoke reflection on the extent our society has changed. Overall, this intelligent reinvention of A Doll's House makes clear that although there has been progress on women's rights during the past century, it has not been for everyone and many women still live in positions of dependence and subordination that make it difficult for them to find their own voice.
