Hi - this is for the party who is claiming that the first English production of A Doll's House was in 1893: How did you come to this conclusion? I am a writer in Louisville, Kentucky and have evidence to refute this. It is a well established fact - one that can be verified in numerous local and national newspaper articles of the day - that A Doll's House premiered under that title (in 1882 it was staged in Milwaukee with the title "The Child Wife" or something to that effect)in 1883 in conjunction with the famed Southern Expostion that opened that same year. It opened to much acclaim in McCauley's Theater with Polish actress Madame Helena Modjeska in the lead. Reviews suggest that the production was in English, and not in any other language. I read accounts where Modjeska was lauded for her excellent command of English. Any comments would be welcomed. Thanks.
