REVIEWS

"[A] smart, funny and utterly engrossing play" ~ NY Times

★★★★★ "If Ibsen's play is about suffocation, Hnath's is about airing things out. Modern in its language, mordant in its humor and suspenseful in its plotting - Nora, now a scandalous writer, needs Torvald's help to avoid being blackmailed by a judge - the play judiciously balances conflicting ideas about freedom, love and responsibility ... keeps you hanging on each turn of argument and twist of knife ... lucid and absorbing the play judiciously balances conflicting ideas about freedom, love and responsibility ... It's a slam dunk" ~ Time Out

"Hnath's inspired writing, which endows each character with an arsenal of fastballs, curveballs and spitballs, keep[s] us disarmingly off-balance. He's an uncommonly gifted parodist. For all its seriousness, A Doll's House, Part 2 is suffused with a contagious bemusement" ~ Deadline.com

"With unfussy eloquence, [the play] asks how much, in a century-plus, life has changed for Nora and women like her in a world that often still has firm ideas about where they belong" ~ Hollywood Reporter
