Description

A new recording of Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece, starring Calista Flockhart. Nora Helmer has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora's well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Ibsen's play is as fresh today as it was when it first stormed the stages of 19th-century Europe.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring: Calista Flockhart as Nora Helmer; Tony Abatemarco as Dr. Rank; Tim Dekay as Torvald Helmer; Jeannie Elias as Anne-Marie and Helene; Gregory Itzin as Nils Krogstad; Jobeth Williams as Mrs. Linde. Translated by Rolf Fjelde. Directed by Rosalind Ayres. Recorded before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater at UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television.

I still love it like I did when I was 19 reading it in my first year in college. I honestly understand it more now than I did then. At first I didn't like the fact she left the kids but now I understand why. She never felt like she was mother to them in the first place which she said. She always felt like they were her playthings like her father and then her husband treated her. It's not to say that once she discover who she truly is and what she believe that she won't come back for her kids and be a mother to them. I believe she would but she have to find herself in order to do that. This is why this play is consider fenmist cause at the end Nora did something that some women at that time dream of doing. Leaving to find themselves in this world. So A Doll's House is still one of my faves.
