A Doll's House, Part 2 recently began performances at George Street Playhouse.

Lucas Hnath's comedy, an imagined sequel to Henrik Ibsen's 1879 play A Doll's House, is described as follows: "When we last saw Nora Helmer, she was slamming the door on life as she knew it, and embarking on a brave, bold and shocking new world as a woman on her own. Fifteen years later, she's returned to that same door, with a high-stakes game of unfinished business on her mind."

Betsy Aidem directs a cast featuring Andrew Garman, Ann McDonough, Kellie Overbey, and Lily Santiago. The creative team includes Deb O (scenic and media design), Olivera Gajic (costume design), Troy Beard (hair and wig design), Rick Fisher (lighting design), Mark Bennett (original music and sound design), and Rick Sordelet (fight direction). Christopher J. Bailey is the production manager, Kristin Pfeifer the production stage manager, and Christina Woolard the assistant stage manager.

Performances continue through December 23.
