===Restaging=== * In 1989, film and stage director [[Ingmar Bergman]] staged and published a shortened reworking of the play, now entitled ''Nora'', which entirely omitted the characters of the servants and the children, focusing more on the power struggle between Nora and Torvald. It was widely viewed as downplaying the feminist themes of Ibsen's original.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Doll's House |url=http://www.ingmarbergman.se/en/production/dolls-house |access-date=3 April 2017 |website=Ingmar Bergman |language=en |archive-date=4 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404044250/http://www.ingmarbergman.se/en/production/dolls-house |url-status=live }}</ref> The first staging of it in [[New York City]] was reviewed by ''[[The New York Times]]'' as heightening the play's melodramatic aspects.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Goodman |first=Walter |date=24 February 1988 |title=Stage: Bergman Version Of Ibsen's 'Doll's House' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/24/theater/stage-bergman-version-of-ibsen-s-doll-s-house.html |access-date=3 April 2017 |work=[[The New York Times]] |language=en |issn=0362-4331 |oclc=1645522 |archive-date=4 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404043121/http://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/24/theater/stage-bergman-version-of-ibsen-s-doll-s-house.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' stated that "''Nora'' shores up ''A Doll's House'' in some areas but weakens it in others."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shirley |first=Don |date=26 May 1998 |title=Bergman Adaptation Restructures 'A Doll's House' |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-may-26-ca-53435-story.html |access-date=3 April 2017 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en |issn=0458-3035 |oclc=3638237}}</ref> * [[Lucas Hnath]] wrote ''[[A Doll's House, Part 2]]'' in 2017, as a followup about Nora returning. * In 2017, performance artist [[Cherdonna Shinatra]] wrote and starred in a reworking of the play titled "Cherdonna's Doll House" under the direction of Ali Mohamed el-Gasseir. The production was staged at 12th Avenue Arts through Washington Ensemble Theatre.
