Henryk Ibsen, “A Doll’s House”

In Europe, there are two main stages of theater development: the old theater (from the time of antiquity, William Shakespeare and others until the end of the nineteenth century) and the new theater (from the end of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century). Representatives of the “new drama” were Henrik Ibsen (Norway), Bernard Shaw (Great Britain), Maurice Maeterlinck (Belgium), Bertolt Brecht (Germany), Lesya Ukrainka, Ivan Franko, Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Mykhailo Semenko, and others (Ukraine).
