A Doll's House is a three-act play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time, and caused a 'storm of outraged controversy' that went beyond the theatre to the world newspapers and society.UNESCO has inscribed Ibsen's autographed manuscripts of A Doll's House on the Memory of the World Register in 2001, in recognition of their historical value. The title of the play is most commonly translated as A Doll's House, though some scholars use A Doll House.

Henrik Johan Ibsen (20 March 1828 - 23 May 1906) was a Norwegian playwright and theatre director. As one of the founders of modernism in theatre, Ibsen is often referred to as "the father of realism" and one of the most influential playwrights of his time. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, When We Dead Awaken, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. Ibsen is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare, and A Doll's House was the world's most performed play in 2006. Ibsen's early poetic and cinematic play Peer Gynt has strong surreal elements.

Niru is a young Bengali woman married to an English colonial bureaucrat - Tom. Tom loves Niru, exoticising her as a frivolous plaything to be admired and kept; but Niru has a long-kept secret, and just as she thinks she is almost free of it, it threatens to bring her life crashing down around her. Tanika Gupta reimagines Ibsen's classic play of gender politics through the lens of British colonialism, offering a bold, female perspective exploring themes of ownership and race.

Excerpt from On the Heights (Paa Vidderne): A Tragedy in Lyrical Ballads Be not unto us a joy forever; symbols rather of European fames distinctly incomprehensible and as we might honor the mummy of Rameses, or inspect a brass idol in a Joss-house, so we stare at these foreign glories and chuckle superiorly as we think of the verse that sells!

Bis heute eine Ikone: Henrik Ibsen, der wortgewaltige Dramatiker, der gegen die Moral und Lebenslüge seiner Zeit wetterte. Was tut man, wenn man als erwachsener Mann einer Zwölfjährigen einen Kuss auf die Wange drückt und ihr verspricht, in zehn Jahren mit einem Schloss für sie aufzuwarten? Für Baumeister Solneß ein echtes Problem, denn nach zehn Jahren steht die junge Dame vor ihm und erkundigt sich nach dem versprochenen Schloss... In Gespenster zeichnet Ibsen den Untergang einer ganzen Familie auf, um die dramatisch rückständige Gesellschaftsordnung seiner Tage anzuprangern. Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)
