During the winter of 1891-92 Heijermans wrote his first play, using the theme of Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" and adding new characters and an authentic Dutch setting. "Dora Kremer" premiered on April 25, 1893, at the Groote Schouwburg in Rotterdam, and was met with general disapproval. Eager to avenge the humiliation, Heijermans plotted one of the most daring stratagems in modern Dutch literature.
