A Doll's House, Questors Theatre

India. 1879. Can a wife break free from the shackles of societal expectations?

This striking reimagining of Ibsen's classic play is set in Calcutta during British colonialist rule. Niru, a young Bengali woman, is married to English bureaucrat Tom. To him, she is a prize possession, a doting wife whose purpose is to serve. But when she takes agency of her own, how will he respond?

Exploring gender politics and male ownership, this razor-sharp contemporary adaptation confronts complex race relations through the lens of colonialism.

Written by highly acclaimed British-Indian playwright Tanika Gupta, and originally staged at The Lyric in 2018. This production is directed by Meneka Das.
