performing Ibsens : A Doll's House

[[R-CON]MrD]

So, there we are, the only class on our university module having to perform a 15-20 minute segment from the play.

We are tasked with changing the performance, but keeping the script.

I had this idea, well it was the second one and the first was a bit more deranged and no one would go along with it.

I will sit behind a table in front of the class, with a painted set in front of me, a dollie and a few other props (a letter and two calling cards with black crosses on them)

Anyone who knows the play (and the norwegians here will come charging in with great enthusiasm) will probably understand and forgive me. The rest of you just need some culture!

lol, so much for Ibsen's subtle use of symbolism...



Any excuse to play with your dolls eh mr d?

hey we just read this play in English class quite recently. very influential piece of work, I must say

I found out that the stage direction was with Helmer chasing and trying to catch his Doll, Nora throughout the play. Forget the films, the play script itself is enough to entertain.

That german actress was sooooo scared the play would ruin her reputation she made Ibsen change the end of the play just for her and her audience, tut tut. Doesn't know her place!

I took this to levels unplumbed by sane people with the doll that I will sit with and play with occasionally. Although I won't be so depraved I look up its skirt, no matter how disgusted with my audience I find myself.

is there going to be dialogue? what's the doll's role? just sit around?

Lol. I demand pictures of the actual performance so I can show them to my English drama teacher
