The 1992 television drama programme presents Henrik Ibsen's play ‘A Doll's House’. It follows a woman who, in the early years of her marriage, commits forgery and later falls victim to blackmail. The production stars Juliet Stevenson and Trevor Eve.

A Doll's House is a television programme presented as a single, self‑contained episode. The work is a 1992 televised version of Henrik Ibsen’s renowned play, condensed for a one‑off broadcast. It stars Juliet Stevenson in the principal female role opposite Trevor Eve, who together carry the central characters of the story. The plot centres on a woman who, shortly after marrying, commits the crime of forgery. This early transgression sets in motion a chain of events that later leaves her exposed to extortion. As the narrative unfolds, she finds herself blackmailed, the threat stemming directly from the illicit act she performed at the start of her marital life. The story follows the pressure and ramifications that arise from this vulnerability. The production condenses Ibsen’s original drama into a single broadcast, preserving the essential conflict and moral questions that drive the source material. By limiting the format to a one‑off episode, the adaptation focuses tightly on the pivotal moments that define the characters’ struggles. The single‑episode structure ensures the narrative proceeds without interruption, delivering the story in a continuous flow. With Stevenson and Eve anchoring the cast, the programme offers a concise retelling of the play’s key events within the limited scope of a one‑off television drama.
