The History of Production: A Doll House
"A Doll House" was written in 1879 by Henrik Ibsen, a Norwegian Playwright. It is a play about the role of women in Ibsen's time. Nora is a major character, who struggles to bring happiness to her family. When her husband Torvald is sick, Nora borrows money from her husband's bank to pay for a trip to heal her husband by Krogstad's help. The play takes place after this trip and we see that Torvald is restored to full health. Torvald treats Nora just like a doll and nothing more. We find out that Nora secretly pays back the money she borrowed. An old friend named Mrs.Linde comes to Helmer's house in search for a job and Nora persuades her husband to let Mrs.Linde have a job at his bank. Krostad faces a problem that he is getting fired and he threats Nora that he would blackmail about her secret to her husband if she wouldn't help him his job to be secured. After Torvald finds out, instead of Torvald being thankful for his wife for trying to save her husband for a dreadful illness, he is furious and says he will be humiliated and torn by Society when they find out what his wife did. She realizes that her whole life she has just been a doll in a doll house. She tells Torvald how hard she has tried to be a good wife and build a fam
The play was set in a resident of a Long Island suburb in the 1970's. Some of productions are same as original written by Ibsen and some are slightly different from the original. There is no doubt that Ibsen's "A Doll's House" would establish the Realism movement and inspire the future of playwrights. Elliott Grey is explosive and threatening as Krogstad. Amin Tarokh's staunch performance as the pampered husband is on target, while Khosro Shakibai is aptly sleazy as the insidious underling. Science and Society was changing so the theatre had to change too. Clement's Church, Clinton in May 1993. Robert Klingelhoefer was set designer and Juliet Ouyoung was costume designer. She pointed out that the play also had a brief nude scene of Nora, which none of "A Doll House" productions had done before. The plot, character relationships and dialogue remain the same but main characters were Asian-Americans of the professional middle class, Nora Hwangs and Torvald Hwangs. Action in the real world takes place outside those walls, on raised platforms, on a trestle. One of examples is the play called "Sara", in which Dariush Mehrjui adapted to an affair of modern-day Iranian couple.
