Henrik Ibsens "A Dolls House" opened last Friday night at the John Waldron Arts Center located at 122 S. ...
"A Dolls House" is about a middle-class world where a married pair slowly reveals itself to be based on a few deceptions; the threatening darkness shadows the once bright light. ... Could the world of financial freedom Nora glimpses at the plays beginning become a prison? For Nora to find the answers she must sort out her obligations to her family, but also to herself. ...
Stephanie Harrison played subservient wife Nora. Nora always seems to have inklings of wanting independence from male domination throughout the entire show. ... Harrison, through most of the show, said her lines much too slowly and said them like Nora was reading them instead of saying them. But some Nora is better than no Nora. ... Then Nora asks champagne be served at dinner. ... But by the time the third act comes around, Nora definitely comes into her own. ... The third act had Nora making a goodbye so long, if she would have been doing it before she got on a train in Los Angeles, by the time she was done, the train would have pulled into Rochester, New York.
