MSt tutor Belinda Jack lecture on Ibsen’s The Doll’s House, London, 26 Jan 2016
MSt tutor, Belinda Jack, who is Gresham Professor of Rhetoric, will be giving a lecture at the Museum of London on “Theatre and Individualism: Henrik Ibsen, ‘A Doll’s House’”
Tuesday, 26 January 20166:00pmMuseum of LondonEntry open to all, no reservation required“A Doll’s House is a three-act play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. Its first performance was at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, in Denmark, on 21 December 1879. It is often considered to be a feminist play as Nora, the heroine, leaves her husband and children intent on self-discovery. Ibsen, on the other hand, denied any conscious attempt to provide propaganda for the women’s rights movement and claimed that his concern was for the description of humanity. If the play is about the need to find the self and to live true to that self, then what is the nature of individualism that the play promotes?”For more information, see the Gresham House website.
