Performances of A Doll's House, Part 2 have begun at Philadelphia's Arden Theatre Company and are scheduled to continue through December 9.

Lucas Hnath's A Doll's House, Part 2 is described as follows: "Fifteen years have passed since Nora famously slammed the door. And then there's a knock. Nora has returned. A Doll's House, Part 2 explores, in uproarious fashion, the emotional chaos that results when Nora Helmer comes back home after her sojourn away."

Tracy Bridgen directs a cast featuring Grace Gonglewski as Nora, Steven Rishard as Torvald, Joilet Harris as Anne Marie, and Grace Tarves as Emmy.

The creative team includes Jorge Cousineau (scenic, sound, and video design), Olivera Gajic (costume design), and Brian Sidney Bembridge (lighting design). Elise D'Avella is the assistant director and Wendy Blackburn Eastland the stage manager.

The play was nominated for the 2017 Tony Award for Best Play.
