The Hamilton production of A Doll’s House is set in suburban America in 1964--one year after John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. The play follows Nora and Torvald Helmer, a young couple who seem to have it all: a happy home, loving children, and a secure future. But when Krogstad, a man from their past, threatens to reveal the lengths to which Nora has gone to preserve her home and family, he sets into motion a series of revelations which threatens them all. Can Nora save her family? Or must she save herself instead?
Admission is $3 for seniors and $5 for adults. For reservations call (315) 859-4331.
