A Doll's House (adapted from Ibsen)

By Tanika Gupta

Ibsen's classic play of gender politics reimagined through the lens of British colonialism, offering a bold, female perspective exploring themes of ownership and race. 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.
