A Doll’s House is one of the most popular plays ever published, with thousands of performances staged since it was first performed in 1879. The Classic Book Discussion Group will rediscover Henrik Ibsen’s story in April.

*****

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Nora Helmer has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora’s well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Ibsen’s play is as fresh today as it was when it first stormed the stages of 19th-century Europe.

Copies of A Doll’s House can be picked up from the Book Discussion Shelf on our first floor, and it’s available digitally as an ebook (through Overdrive/Libby or Hoopla) and an audiobook (through Overdrive/Libby or Hoopla).

An in-person discussion of A Doll’s House will be held at the library on Thursday, April 25, at 3:00 PM. No registration is required to attend.
