Description

Nora Helmer leaving her husband at the end of Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece was the “door slam heard ‘round the world.” Fifteen years later, and there’s a knock at that same door. Nora’s back. But why? And where has she been? Lucas Hnath’s brilliantly funny sequel to Ibsen’s classic was nominated for 8 Tony Awards and makes its Utah premiere at SLAC.
