Coventry theatre stages battle of the sexes in Ibsen adaptation
The updated version of a story first seen in 1879, still has so many resonances for modern audiences and centres around the role of women in society.
The play, renamed Nora, can be seen in the intimate setting of the theatre’s B2 auditorium up until February 18.

The title role will be played by the actress Penny Layden and the cast also includes former EastEnders actor Stuart Lang who played Rob Minter, along with David Michaels, Sanchia McCormack and Peter Lindford.
* Before the play opens the Belgrade’s creative team are also holding a special workshop during which they will use theatrical techniques to help people to learn key communication skills.
