Nora Helmer is trying to find herself.
In the overdramatic 21st century, that phrase is just boring psychobabble.
But a century and a half ago, the Noras of the world didn’t do that.
“A Doll’s House,” the classic Henrik Ibsen drama involving a young woman’s desire to find her true self within the confines of her 19th-century marriage, opens tonight in the Mildred M. Montague Circle Theatre at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre.
