The Duke of York's 'A Doll's House' Reveiw

When I went to see A Dolls House in the west end, I was a little apprehensive, because I had found reading the play a little dry, though when I did go and see it I was thrilled, because seeing the play really brought it to life and allowed me to see what was being said through the text, I found the play a lot more engaging than reading it and I also found myself emotionally attached with all of the characters. I thought the acting especially from the lead actress was outstanding and the way she carried herself was entirely how I had imagined the characters. Personally I found that the costume choices especially for Torvald I did not necessarily agree with and some of the casting I found a little odd e.g. Dr Rank, although all in all I thought I was very well done. I was lucky enough to go on the press night for free, because my cousin was one of the producers on the show and I found it fascinating to the critics giving their opinions, one critic, a lady from a local paper very amusing, but somewhat profound comment to her friends, she said “The woman (Nora) is ridiculous, she doesn’t know what she has got, at least her husband isn’t an alcoholic that beats her all day’, now although she meant this flippantly I found myself agreeing somewhat with her, and to a degree, also agreeing with Torvald when he reminds her she has responsibilities to her husband and children.
