Nora: A Doll’s House is the first production in the Citizens Women season; a season committed to putting women actors, directors and stories centre stage.

A poetic reimagining of the classic text by Henrik Ibsen, Stef Smith’s radical adaptation tells Nora’s story over three time periods: exploring the role of women from the turn of the century, through women’s suffrage and into modern times.

Directed by Elizabeth Freestone, she describes it as “a powerful rollercoaster charting the tumultuous events of three days in a deeply troubled household. Secrets are revealed, lives turned inside out and the wider ills of society exposed”.

The 50p ticket sale will begin at 10am but with availability strictly limited, and the bargain ticket offer more popular than ever, customers are advised to join the queue at Tramway early to avoid disappointment. Customers will be able to buy a maximum of two tickets per person which must be paid for in cash.
