The Clarendon College Theatre Department will stage “A Doll House” this Thursday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. in the Harned Sisters Fine Arts Center Auditorium.
The play was written by Henrik Ibsen, translated by William Archer, and has been adapted and directed by Dr. Rodney Donahue, CC Theatre Director.
“A Doll House” is set in the Helmer family home at Christmas time and is performed in three acts. The play questions the traditional roles of men and women in 19th-century marriage and is the most important play of the nineteenth century. Henrik Ibsen was the “father” of realism. While certain plays had realistic elements before 1878, “A Doll House” cemented realism as the dominant form of entertainment, and it is still the dominant form of entertainment 140 years later.
The cast includes Jenna Faye Wilson, Ethan Cole Shipman, Adley Gilmer, Orian Neal, and Jaci Claxton.
