A popular and critical hit on Broadway, this sharp-witted sequel to Ibsen’s realist masterpiece begins with a knock at the door. Some 15 years prior, Nora walked out that same door, leaving behind her husband and children to pursue a life as a fiercely independent woman -- a sure shocker in the 19th century. Now it's revealed that she's been busy writing scandalous novels that encourage women to break free from the bonds of marriage and find their own destiny. When a powerful judge blackmails Nora, she comes home to ask for help from the very family she abandoned. Coming to San Diego's Lyceum Stage, San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of "A Doll’s House, Part 2" is a blistering and very funny meditation on marriage and the high cost of personal fulfillment -- and you don't need to have seen the original Ibsen to thoroughly enjoy this play, dubbed "explosively funny" by the "Hollywood Reporter" and the recipient of eight 2017 Tony Award nominations.
