a Theatre Delicatessen production

I couldn't sacrifice my name, my honour. No man would do that.
Plenty of women have

A happy home. A beautiful family. A rich banker husband who loves you. What more could there be to life?

What more could any woman want?

An all-female ensemble re-tell Ibsen's sensational story of one woman's emancipation, through the eyes of a generation of women who were told they could have it all.

Pop-up theatre pioneers Theatre Delicatessen present a new imagining of A Doll's House that challenges the complacent modern view that women and men are equal in the eyes of the law, the home and wider society. How far do women contort themselves in order to fit in with patriarchal customs, phyicalities, languages and emotions? With so much to choose, how much choice do we really have?

A Doll's House will be Theatre Delicatessen's final production at their current pop-up theatre venue on Picton Place, a stone's throw from St Christopher's Place but a world away from Selfridges, following on the successes of Mercury Fur and Theatre Souk.

Theatre Delicatessen are grateful to the Arts Council England for providing a funding grant for A Doll's House.

Previous critical acclaim for Theatre Delicatessen includes:

***** “Extraordinary odyssey through modern drama… If you get a chance, attend it, and look out for any new work from what are by now certainly one of the most exciting theatre companies in London.” REMOTE GOAT (Theatre Souk)

***** “Theatre Souk offers a tremendous experience of innovative and experimental theatre and a fantastic evening out.” WHAT'S ON STAGE

***** “Very little in London's recent theatrical landscape has resonated with quite the amount of sheer intensity and lacerating emotional whirlwinds” REMOTE GOAT (Mercury Fur)

**** “Almost unbearable to watch yet so compelling you can't stop watching...There are some standout performances from the young cast, and the play is perfectly matched to this here-today-gone-tomorrow ­pop-up venue” THE GUARDIAN (Mercury Fur)

“It's evidence that the controversy that greeted its premiere was not all Mercury Fur had to offer... it just takes the right company in the right space to reveal the heart behind the horrors.” BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

“In Pedal Pusher what Theatre Delicatessen managed to do with a couple of plastic chairs and some cycling shorts was pretty spectacular.” Best of the Year 2009 - Time Out

“Pedal Pusher is theatrical revolution” THE GUARDIAN

**** “A muscular production... nothing short of ingenious” THE LIST, EDINBURGH - Top 20 Unmissable shows (Pedal Pusher)
