“A Doll’s House, Part 2,” a Tony Award-winning play by Lucas Hnath, opens Friday, Nov. 13, at the motion capture sound stage at Kokernot Outdoor Theater on Loop Road in Alpine.

Presented by the Sul Ross State University Theatre Program, the story takes place 15 years after Nora Helmer (from Henrik Ibsen’s famous play “A Doll’s House”) leaves her husband and three children. Hnath re-examines 19th-century marriage through a contemporary lens, exposing how societal norms constrain both men and women.

“This play is about the complexities of human relationships,” said Director and SRSU Professor of Theatre and Cinematic Arts Marjie Scott. “Relationships, especially intimate ones, are complicated, and societal rules about marriage can be so restrictive and can often lead to unhappiness. I like that each character has his or her own ideas about love and marriage and what it means to be happy. The script is also very funny. Humans can be so ridiculous sometimes and this play explores that, too. The good news is that you don’t have to have seen the first play to enjoy this one.”

“A Doll’s House, Part 2” premiered at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, Calif., in April 2017 before moving to Broadway at the John Golden Theatre. The production starred Laurie Metcalf as Nora and Chris Cooper as Torvald, with Sam Gold directing. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards, including Best Play, while Metcalf won the Tony for Best Actress.

A Doll’s House, Part 2 opens Friday and runs weekends through Nov. 22. Performances run Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. An additional Thursday night performance will be held on Nov.19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for seniors (age 65-plus). As always, SRSU community members and U.S. military and veterans receive free admission to all shows.
