Synopsis
The drama started with a knock on the same doors that slammed shut, fifteen years earlier when Nora came out at the end of Ibsen's game. Nora has returned, and she knocks. After leaving her husband, children, and baby-sitter, Nora became a successful feminist novelist. The reason for his return was to settle a divorce from Torvald; he needs it to sign legal documents. Nora was questioned about what she had done - the family thought she might have died - and the family and baby sitter expressed their accusations about her.
