The Shasta College Theatre Department is proud to present Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll’s House," a play steeped in potent social commentary and compelling characters. This timeless story, set in 19th-century Norway, explores the intricate dynamics of individual identity, societal expectations, and personal liberation through the lens of Nora Helmer, a seemingly happy wife and mother. "A Doll's House" will engage viewers as Nora desperately navigates the confines of marriage and societal norms while the facade of domestic bliss crumbles around her. Audiences will be captivated by Nora’s profound journey of personal awakening and empowerment as she grapples with her autonomy and her sacrifices to conform to societal expectations. The play challenges the status quo and invites viewers to reflect on themes of gender roles, individuality, and freedom that remain deeply relevant today.
Henrik Ibsen is renowned for the indelible mark his groundbreaking works left on European theatre. Shasta College's production features Amy Herzog's acclaimed translation, bringing fresh life into this classic work. Herzog's adaptation maintains the play's emotional intensity while making it accessible to contemporary audiences, promising an exhilarating and thought-provoking experience.
Performances will take place at 7:00pm in the Shasta College Theatre on October 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19, with additional matinée performances at 2:00pm on October 13 and 20. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for senior citizens over 65, and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the Shasta College Box Office starting one hour before the performance, or online ahead of time for no additional cost.
"A Doll's House" is directed by Dr. Greg Thorson, with costumes by Hilary Fahey, scenic design by David Fraser, hair & makeup design by Mat McDonald, and lighting design by Tim Dye.
"A Doll's House (Herzog)" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc., www.concordtheatricals.com.
