A Doll's House (2019)
Overview
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. Tanika Gupta reimagines Henrik Ibsen's classic play of gender politics through the lens of British colonialism, offering a bold, female perspective exploring themes of ownership and race. Performed between September 6 and October 5, 2019 at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, London, UK (filmed October 5, 2019).
