The sound of nora slamming the door on her home reverberated throughout Victorian society shocking it out of its prudish conventionality
Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906), the Norwegian playwright and theatre director, is hailed as "the father of realism" and one of the most influential figures in modern theatre. His repertoire includes seminal works like "A Doll's House," a groundbreaking play that challenged societal norms. Set in a bourgeois environment, it scrutinizes gender roles and marriage conventions. Ibsen's impact extends globally; his plays, written in Dano-Norwegian, have shaped the works of renowned authors like George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde. He is recognised as a modernist pioneer as well as "the father of realism" in play.
