I went to see a condensed version of the play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. I had prior knowledge of the play and its meaning because I read and studied the play my senior year of high school. (My teacher is a feminist.) Anyhow, while I was watching the play I remembered the discussion about how Torvald was on the surface a loving and doting husband, but his cute nicknames, if you will were seen as more belittling. Almost how you would call a child. I was still unsure if Nora’s decision to desert her family was the right choice. But still the most amazing and I think one of the most insightful quotes of the play was when Torvald asks Nora, “But can’t we live here like brother and sister–?” To me it signifies the perfect facade that every marriage has on the outside, but here Torvald was begging, if you will, to keep up the charade just so they keep the “Beaver style” life. Overall, the play was very well done. The actors and director appeared to have a complete and clear understanding of Henrik Ibsen and the story’s uniqueness for the time period it was written in. I must say I enjoyed watching the play more than I did studying the text. Good workshop!
