So on the 5th, I went to that Arts at Baruch workshop involving the reading of A Doll House in the Engelman Recital Hall. I didn’t really want to go because it was during club hours and I could’ve been home, so I apologize if my writing about it is off (I didn’t give it my 100% undivided attention). But what I got from it was a husband and wife, and the wife saved her husband’s life. But when saving her husband’s life, she forged her fathers signature, which is a big deal. And her husband has an ethical dilemma with this because he is the manager of a bank and had to fire someone because of the exact same reason, but he nonetheless gets infuriated with her. But the husband calms down when he gets a letter relating to his wife’s crime of forging the signature. I guess the title of the play comes from what comes after the letter. The wife then realizes her husband is not the man she thought he was and is disappointed. Thus leading her to be a doll, the husband’s plaything, and that basically they never really loved each other. The reading ended with the line “the greatest miracle of all” which was a reply from the wife when the husband asked if they could rebuild their marriage. Powerful ending. This workshop was pretty good. I wish it was a real play rather than a reading so the visuals wouldn’t have needed to be imagined, but the readers did a good job. The readers fueled my imagination for what the scenes should have looked like. All in all, it was better than I thought it would be.
