Last week, Mickey-Jo attended the opening night performance of Henrik Ibsen's A DOLL'S HOUSE at the Almeida Theatre in London, in a new translation by Anya Reiss.

This strikingly modern take on the classic play stars Olivier Award winner Romola Garai as Norma and Tom Mothersdale as Torvald, under the direction of Joe Hill-Gibbins.

Check out what Mickey-Jo thought of the new script, the performances, and the bold choices made by this revival...
