Marshall Theatre: A Doll's House (Nov 5-7)
(Theatre)
A "new spin" on a traditional play will create a unique viewing experience for audiences when the Linfield Theatre Program presents Frank McGuinness' award-winning adaptation of "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen. Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Revival, Time Magazine described the production as "a thunderclap of an evening that takes your breath away."
Performed in the beautiful Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall, performances will take place Thursday, Nov. 5, Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7 at 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 8 at 2:00 p.m.; and Thursday, Nov. 12, Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14 at 8:00 p.m.
The play focuses on Nora, a vibrant young housewife who must reevaluate her marriage after the truth of her relationship with Torvald, her husband, is exposed. Nora's determination to discover her own self-worth and forge a new identity by leaving her husband and children created an up roar when it debuted in 1879 and remains one of the most famous and scandalous dramas of the 19th century.
For 135 years and in countries all around the world, Nora has been slamming the door on her husband and children, making "A Doll's House" one of the most performed dramas of all time. As a harbinger of modern drama, Ibsen believed that theatre should provide insights and generate discussion about important social ideas. Nora's search for identity has not lost its relevance today.
Performed in a Victorian-style dollhouse with seating on all four sides, the audience will peer into the windows of Nora's pristine dollhouse only to realize that its beautiful facade cannot continue to hold its doll captive.
Directed by associate professor of theatre Janet Gupton, set and lighting designs are by professor Tyrone Marshall, costume design by Alethia Moore Del-Monaco, and sound design by Robert Vaughn.
The cast includes Jessica Learn (Nora), Chris Lambert (Torvald), William DeBiccari, Christopher Forrer, Sharon Hagel, Bailey Maxwell, Caitlyn Olson, and Andrew Purcell. Also joining the cast are Hunter Svec-Orr and Jacob Harmon who play the children of the Helmers.
