Fine Arts Building, Mainstage Theatre
UAA Department of Theatre and Dance is pleased to present our final Mainstage production of the season, A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Frank McGuinness.
Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House remains as controversial and electrifying today as when it premiered more than a century ago. At the height of the Victorian era a young wife does the unthinkable -- she abandons her possessive husband and her children for a journey of self-discovery. The play was deemed so confrontational when presented on the New York stage at the turn of the 20th century that the ending had to be changed. This classic of modern literature shaped society and in many ways inspired the women's rights movement. "A thunderclap of an evening that takes your breath away!" - Time Magazine.
ASL interpreters for the hearing-impaired will be present at the April 16 production. Free parking is available.
Please address questions to the director, Dr. David Edgecombe, at afdpe@uaa.alaska.edu or (907) 786-1794.
