A Doll’s House (Audio Book)

A Doll's House is a three-act play in prose by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.

Henrik Ibsen is often referred to as "the father" of modern drama.

A Doll’s House was the first of Ibsen’s plays to create a sensation and is now perhaps his most famous play, and required reading in many secondary schools and universities.

The play was highly controversial when first published, as it is sharply critical of 19th Century marriage norms. It follows the formula of well-made play up until the final act, when it breaks convention by ending with a discussion, not an unravelling.

It is often called the first true feminist play, although Ibsen argued the theme was rather “the need of every individual to find out the kind of person he or she really is and to strive to become that person.”

A Doll's House received its world première on 21 December 1879 at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark.
