October 21~23, 2022 • Telfair B. Peet Black Box Theatre a reading ofA Doll’s House Part 2

By Lucas Hnath

Directed by Ashley Butler

Lucas Hnath’s Tony-nominated play picks up where Ibsen’s original tale left off. Fifteen years after she slammed the proverbial door on her old life, Nora Helmer, who has become a successful feminist writer, returns home to request a divorce from her husband and to face all that she left behind. Join us for an informal reading of this fresh, contemporary “sequel” to a classic tale.

This reading is free and open to the public. Each performance will be followed by a talk-back session with the cast.

A Doll's House Part 2 is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Conceived during a time long before the internet and smartphones, Gurney’s Pulitzer Prize finalist work employs the lost art of letter writing to examine how the intimacy of pen and paper can transcend both physical and spiritual distance.

This performance will be presented as part of a special AU Theatre and Dance alumni weekend and will also be open to the public. Stay tuned for event details and ticketing information.
