Synopsis

Unlike any other series of study guides the Page to Stage series offers insightful and authoritative introductions by well-known theatre professionals to classic plays.

Director Stephen Unwin takes you scene by scene through the action of Ibsen's A Doll's House, analysing moment by moment what is actually said and done, and how the staging of these moments affects our understanding of them.

Also included in this volume is a concise introduction to Ibsen and the historical background of the play; a discussion of the characters and setting; and an exploration of the possibilities for staging, lighting, costumes, props and furniture, and the sound and music - everything that adds meaning to the staged event.
