Review
"Ibsen's great feminist drama" --Daily Telegraph
"Many a husband reeled back in horror after the premiere of Ibsen's marriage-shaking play in 1879. The fellow was actually challenging the sacred values of family life by suggesting a woman could break free of the marital gilded cage. What next? They will want the vote." --Daily Express
"Ibsen's drama is a powerful statement of his radical beliefs about gender, the folly of idealism and the nature of modern love. In essence, it is the story of woman who wakes up to reality." --Evening Standard
"Ibsen caused a storm with the notion that women were as entitled as men to think and live for themselves." --Jewish Chronicle
