The WordPlayers is producing A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, September 12 and 19; Fridays, September 13 and 20; with Sunday matinees on September 15 and 22, at 2:30 p.m. at Erin Presbyterian Church, 200 Lockett Road, Knoxville.
At its core, A Doll’s House is a story about the male tendency to cage feminine strength and the female tendency to break the lock. Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, like Shakespeare’s work, is timeless and as relevant to audiences of 2024 as it was to audiences of 1879.
A Doll’s House shines a harsh spotlight on the toxicity of a family unit in which the woman is anything less than an honored partner in the pursuit of life.
Tickets are $22 for adults and $18 for students. Thursday evening shows are “pay what you wish,” with donations taken at the door with cash, check or card.
