NORA, legendary film director Ingmar Bergman's adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, A Doll's House, is coming to Manhattan for the first time. Ibsen's controversial play, written in 1879, centers on one woman?s personal struggle for identity ? and opens a door onto a real marriage facing common problems. It is more startlingly relevant today than it was over a century ago. As a result of his creation, Ibsen found himself identified as a supporter of women?s rights. The Bergman version, originally presented in Germany in 1981, is a psychological drama that ?cuts to the chase? and exposes the heart of A Doll?s House since it eliminates minor characters and keeps only what is vital to tell Nora?s story.

2006 marks the 100th anniversary of Henrik Ibsen's death. Yet his plays are as relevant today as when he wrote them over a century ago.
