Nora’s life is on the upswing. Her husband got a promotion, and their financial struggles are over at last. But when a man from her past reappears, bent on bringing a dangerous secret to light, everything changes: her marriage, her family, even her relationship to the world around her. The opening night of A Doll’s House was one of the seminal moments in theatre history. The play’s explosive ending and sly, insinuating tone hit its audience like a thunderbolt. Now director Kirsten Brandt and translator Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey team up to create a new adaptation of the play expressly for the Globe’s intimate Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, bringing audiences closer than ever to Ibsen’s spellbinding masterwork.
Meet the cast and creative team of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, translated and adapted by Harvey and adapted and directed by Brandt, runs March 23 - April 21, 2013 at The Old Globe.

Henrik Ibsen (Playwright, 1828 – 1906) is often considered the father of modern drama. His plays are still highly topical, and after Shakespeare, his works are more frequently performed than any other playwright in the world. He began writing plays in 1850, and his best-known works include A Doll’s House (1879), Ghosts (1881), An Enemy of the People (1882) and Hedda Gabler (1890). Many of Ibsen’s plays are realistic, issue-driven dramas that focus on social criticism. A Doll’s House was Ibsen’s international breakthrough. His later plays shift to psychological and symbolic drama. His four last dramatic works, The Master Builder (1892), Little Eyolf (1894), John Gabriel Borkman (1896) and When We Dead Awaken (1899), are frequently characterized as dramatic self-portraits, as artistic confessions in the name of self-scrutiny and self-awareness. In 1900 Ibsen suffered his first stroke. His “dramatic epilogue,” When We Dead Awaken, was thus and appropriately the last dramatic work that he wrote. In all, Ibsen wrote 26 dramatic works and some 300 poems.
Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey (Translation, Adaptation) is Professor Emerita of Theatre at San Diego State University. Swedish-born and educated in Sweden and the U.S., she is a board member of The August Strindberg Society of Los Angeles (TASSLA) and a former board member of the Ibsen Society of America. As a translator and dramaturg she specializes in the plays of Ibsen and Strindberg as well as contemporary Swedish plays for young audiences like Medea’s Children. Her platform translations have been used by a wide range of Ibsen productions, from academic theater to regional theater to Broadway, serving adaptations of Ibsen’s plays by Jon Robin Baitz, Christopher Shinn and Mabou Mines, among others. Her first Old Globe assignment was as dramaturg for Jack O’Brien’s production of Ibsen’s Ghosts. Her first collaboration with director Kirsten Brandt was as translator/dramaturg for Strindberg’s A Dream Play at Sledgehammer Theatre in San Diego. Committed to providing global access to the vibrant dramas of Ibsen and Strindberg, Harvey is pleased that her translations into English have also served as source texts for local language productions in Mysore, India and Beijing. Since her early immigrant days in Minneapolis, Harvey has also been researching, performing, recording, documenting and lecturing on Scandinavian immigrant music and theater in America. In 1998, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden awarded her the Kings’ Medal, 8th class, with the ribbon of the Order of the Seraphim for outstanding contributions to Swedish-American culture in the United States.
