World renowned masterpiece by Henrik Ibsen
When Nora returned with the trappings of Christmas, did she anticipate that the trappings of her
identity as a wife
and as a mother could come down before the decorations would? Did she believe that her
performance as dutiful wife and
diligent mother was enough, for her and her husband? Did she expect to have to choose between
her happy veneer, and the
uncertainty of the truth…
A true classic of world literature, A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, explores and explodes
gender roles,
societal expectation, and relationships based on ideals rather than honesty. Scandalous when
first written,
A Doll’s House has consistently proven its relevance right up to the present day.
“
The Chamber Theater has mounted a fascinating and bold production of
Ibsen’s work that shines particularly bright in the, “nevertheless she persisted” world
we have found ourselves in today.
“
The Chamber Theatre’s production at Vault1031 is brisk, clear and convincing.
“
Director Martin French delivers the goods,
with the help of these actors, and presents a modern classic that will teach
theater-goers a lot about how our contemporary theater is influenced by early realism.
