Two River Theater has revealed the cast and creative team for Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Written by Henrik Ibsen and adapted and directed by acclaimed director Justin Emeka (Sweat, Romeo and Juliet), this world premiere adaptation is reimagined in 1950s New Jersey, weaving Black culture into one of the most powerful plays ever experienced. A Doll’s House will run in the Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater from February 21–March 15, 2026.
“When Justin Emeka gifts his vision to a project, it always adds up to more than the sum of its parts,” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “Such is his ability to plumb the depths to mine more heart, more humor, more meaning. In this World Premiere adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s legendarily seismic work, Justin places Nora Helmer in 1950s suburban New Jersey, at a crossroads of burgeoning civil rights and rampant red lining, to illicit a distinctly immediate and actively necessary new look at a piece of art that shocked the world.”
