“A Doll’s House, Part 2,” an ambitious and much-admired sequel to the classic Ibsen play, will close on Broadway on Sept. 24.

The closing is earlier than expected — the play had been scheduled to run until Jan. 7. But the run will still have been longer than that of many contemporary nonmusical productions; at the time of the show’s closing, it will have played 30 preview and 173 regular performances.

The play, a witty drama, imagines what happens when Nora Helmer, who walked out on her husband and children at the end of Ibsen’s 19th-century play, returns for a visit 15 years later.

“A Doll’s House, Part 2” is the Broadway debut for its playwright, Lucas Hnath, whose earlier work, “The Christians,” is being widely staged around the country. Directed by Sam Gold, “A Doll’s House, Part 2” was nominated for eight Tony awards, and won one, for the actress Laurie Metcalf.
