A review by proffy
A Doll's House and Other Plays by Henrik Ibsen

4.0

When Torvald gets sick, his wife, Nora, takes out a loan in secret to pay for the trip to Italy his doctors insist upon. She has been paying off her debt consistently - without her husband's knowledge - but now it looks like her dirty secret must come to light.

I read it in one sitting and feel perfectly fine about it. At a mere 88 pages or so, this play is ridiculously short, and the plot is relatively simple, but thematically, the story is overflowing with important and relevant issues that provide food for thought. If you haven't yet read this play, I would highly recommend doing so.
