The Doll House
Wow. This was a good video to watch. The sound was pretty low so I had to wear ear phones to hear it at the end but it may have just been my lap top. After a quick search I found another copy of it.
This is pretty much as I had read it. It started off with everything fine and things spiraled out of control down down down until it ended in a dark place for everyone involved. It was especially dark for Nora and she portrayed it well. I don’t really know how she could have been so blind to her feelings until that moment that she made the decision to just abandon her life and start over.
Acting was well done. The productions lately have been very professional and the characters are well portrayed.
Nora was more bitchy than I pictured her and Helmer more of a wimp but it worked well. I could see the love of the marriage leave Nora’s eyes and the love of life leave Helmer….. or it could have been vice versa.
This was a moving story to watch. I don’t know why but I was engrossed in the story and felt bad for all the parties involved. I found myself wishing on some level it was going to be okay.
Nora was painfully honest and brutally blunt that this was it. Too bad there isn’t a Doll House II: The reunion put out later…I’d read it and watch it for sure.

I did want to add one thing. I missed it when I read the play but in the video of it Nora's feelings actually went deeper than her marriage. She said somewhere in there that her father had started the process of her losing her identity. She had to stuff her feelings her whole life. So that may have been a turning point.
ReplyDeleteI know we are discussing the actual production but this story was very intriguing. and that may have been what the author was trying to convey...even with his Mon Chi Chi haircut and beard :)
