Concord Theatricals has announced that the 2023 version of “A Doll’s House” is now available for professional and amateur licensing in the U.K. and Ireland. Concord Theatricals had previously announced the acquisition of the licensing rights of Amy Herzog’s Tony Award-nominated adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 drama.
“At a moment where women’s rights are imperiled at home and abroad, I know Concord Theatricals will shepherd this timeless feminist classic and help Ibsen find a new audience for his masterwork,” Herzog said in a statement.
“Amy’s version of ‘A Doll’s House’ deftly cuts to the heart of the complexity of Nora’s rich inner conflict,” said Amy Rose Marsh, Concord Theatricals’ vice president of acquisitions and artistic development. “Her masterful use of language makes this influential work feel urgent and remarkably relatable. I am excited to see many more productions of this powerful adaptation throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.”
“A Doll’s House” follows Nora, who is frustrated with her options and opportunities (or lack thereof) defined by her existence as a housewife. The revival, featuring Herzog’s new translation, opened on Broadway on March 9, 2023 at the Hudson Theatre. The play completed its limited run on June 10. The production received six 2023 Tony nominations, including a Best Revival nod for Herzog’s adaptation and a Best Leading Actress in a Play nod for star Jessica Chastain.
The revival was produced on Broadway by the Jamie Lloyd Company, Ambassador Theatre Group, Gavin Kalin Productions and Wessex Grove.
