Top 5 theatre shows to see this week (February 10-16)

Nora: A Doll’s House – Young Vic, London

Stef Smith’s re-imagining of Ibsen’s play visits three Noras – played by Amaka Okafor, Natalie Klamar and Anna Russell-Martin – at three key moments over the last century. When it premiered at Glasgow’s Tramway last year, The Stage called it “smart and thoughtful, balancing a sense of feminist history with the tightness of a thriller”. It opens on February 11.
