For the latter half of the 19th century, Henrik Ibsen dominated European theatre. His plays still have it all; technical mastery, depth of characterisation, social relevance and a telling use of symbolism.
World centres of theatre constantly revive his best works, often in new tuned-to-date versions. A Doll's House digs deep beneath the surface of domestic life.
It asks, as great plays do, great questions, about success and happiness, and the pricetags we attach to them. Now Frank McGuinness (right) has provided a new version for Belfast's Lyric Theatre, with the interesting casting of Tina Kellegher as Nora.
