Henry Ibson - Research

A Doll’s House was a play written by Henrik Ibsen. He was an author who was very devoted to theater. He was born March 20, 1828 in Norway. He took an interest in the stage at age eight since he was not athletic. In 1857 he became the director of the Norwegian Theater in Christiania. There he directed Love's Comedy, which became a very well known play in his country. Some of his known plays are The Pillars of Society, Ghost, and The Master Builder.
Since the title has “Doll’s House” in it this might mean the play will have the main setting inside of a house. Since play dolls young girls use involve simulating a family, with a mother, father son, and daughter dolls it might be about a family’s life at home.
