They no more invite inflaming audience reactions and now acceptable fare to the foremost conservative theatre-goer. Once the topic of public controversy, defended only by the avant-garde theatre critics of the nineteenth century, Ibsen's prose dramas now are famous as successful television plays and are an important part of the repertory theatre everywhere. Though Ibsen denies he had intended to write down a feminist play, it aroused an excellent sensational response at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the media and society. The play is critical and controversial for the way it deals with the fate of a wife, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfilment during a male-dominated world. The play is about a Norwegian town around 1879. It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 December 1879, having been published earlier that month. A Doll's House is a controversial play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen.
