The story of Nora Helmer, the prototypical desperate housewife, is likely familiar to most folks — after all, Ibsen is a staple of most high school English classrooms. Director Anna Senechal Johnson’s version doesn’t stray far from the letter of the original, angst-filled (controversial! banned!) material, but that’s not a bad thing. Her careful, deceptively simple direction underlines the fact that this is source material that’s held up for over a century. The focus in this production stays where it should: on Nora, as she makes the journey from wifely plaything to (sort of) fully-realized woman.
Henley Street Theatre’s production of A Doll’s House runs through May 29. Tickets are $20 with discounts available for students and City of Richmond employees. Stop by their website or call their box office at 804-340-0115 for details. Tickets bought online by this Thursday for Friday or Saturday performances are just $15 and will not be subject to the $2 handling fee.
