A Doll’s House: Secrets, Sacrifices, and Selfhood

In Lux Radio Theatre’s gripping production of “A Doll’s House: Secrets, Sacrifices, and Selfhood,” Joan Crawford and Basil Rathbone deliver powerful performances in Henrik Ibsen’s revolutionary play. This compelling drama explores the quiet struggles and internal awakenings of Nora Helmer, a devoted wife whose world is upended when a long-concealed secret threatens to destroy her carefully constructed domestic life.
As Nora’s inner conflict grows, so does the tension between duty, identity, and independence. With stakes that challenge the very foundations of marriage and selfhood, Ibsen’s masterpiece is brought to life with emotional depth and period authenticity. A moving examination of freedom, truth, and the cost of silence, this adaptation captures the enduring relevance of one woman’s quest to discover who she truly is.
Cast Members: Joan Crawford, Basil Rathbone, Sam Jaffe, Nedda Harrigan, Vernon Steele, Louis Silvers, Cecil B. DeMille
Special Guest: Frances Manson (Head of the Story Department, Samuel Goldwyn Productions)
