Action Breakdown
Below I have provided a downloadable a PDF which has all of the actions of A Doll's House! Although the blocking in rehearsals might vary from what I have in this document, having a knowledge of the stage directions that Ibsen chose to include in the script can give you some insight into the characters and how the play should be staged.
When looking at this list of actions, do not view them as constraints for the production. Instead, stage directions should be viewed as a roadmap that the playwright provides for the production. If you follow the roadmap, you will find how the staging is informed by the text (and the other way around).
