A Doll’s House will consist of a three-act play that will speak to the audience of women and children. It is about a girl named Nora Helmer who once secretly borrowed a large sum of money so that her husband could get well from a serious illness. She never told him of this loan and has been secretly paying it back in small installments. Her husband, Torvald, thinks her careless and childlike.
