There is a knock at the door, and it opens. Nora steps into her former home. Fifteen years earlier, she walked out through that same door towards freedom, independence and a life of her own. Now she has a reason to return.

Nukkekoti, osa 2 takes place 15 years after Nora Helmer left her family at the end of Nukkekoti. Nora has become a successful writer, but her work has also made her enemies. She left in order to survive and to be herself. She has taken responsibility for her own freedom – and paid a high price for it. On her return, she must confront her past and the consequences of leaving.

The multiple Tony-nominated Nukkekoti, osa 2 is a standalone work, arriving fresh at Helsinki City Theatre after its Broadway premiere in 2017. The play brings together the period setting of the early 20th century and contemporary language to delicious effect. Alongside freedom and responsibility, its themes of equality and the difficulty of loving will resonate with anyone who has ever been part of a family or a relationship.

Originally produced on Broadway by Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, Joey Parnes, Sue Wagner
and John Johnson. Commissioned and first produced by South Coast Repertory.
