London Theatre Enthusiasts

Join us for an engaging online lecture and discussion exploring Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Ghosts, and Hedda Gabler, with a focus on social stigma and the role of women. Building on our previous conversation on Lorca’s Rural Trilogy, this event draws parallels between the playwrights’ bold critiques of societal expectations and the repression of female agency. We’ll delve into how Ibsen, like Lorca, challenges traditional norms and exposes the psychological costs of conformity. Participants will have the opportunity to share insights and explore the enduring relevance of these powerful works in contemporary discussions of gender and societal pressure.
