Romola Garai stars in A Doll’s House at the Almeida Theatre in London.

Olivier Award-winner Romola Garai returns to the Almeida Theatre to play Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s subversive domestic tragedy A Doll’s House.

In a new major version by Critics’ Circle Award-winner Anya Reiss (The Seagull), Joe Hill-Gibbins (Ghosts) directs this provocative drama about the lies we tell to keep things sweet at home.

The talented cast also includes James Corrigan (The Other Boleyn Girl), Olivier Huband  (Romans, a novel), Tom Mothersdale (London Tide) and Thalissa Teixeira (Women Beware Women).

A Doll’s House is playing at the Almeida Theatre in London from 31 March to 23 May 2026. There’s no current news about a West End transfer for A Doll’s House, but check back for details or sign-up for alerts.

What’s the story?

Nora and Torvald’s marriage vows are a binding contract, but when scandal threatens to wreck their lives, it’s time to renegotiate the terms. Money, sex, power – this time nothing’s off the table.
