This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll¿s House, Henrik Ibsen¿s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play¿s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play¿s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play¿s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway¿s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.
