“A smile doesn’t mean happiness”
A Doll's House by Henrick Ibsen
Director: Nicholas Thoroughgood
Assistant Director: Rylee O'Rourke
December 9 to 19, 2020
Things are never what they seem; a smile doesn’t mean happiness - a laugh, entertainment – a signature, power.
Nora Helmer, smiles all the time. She laughs, she hums, she dances. She’s a song bird, a squirrel, a spendthrift. Life is a wonderful thing in the eyes of Nora Helmer. She loves her husband. She’d do anything to protect him - she’d lie for him and die for him. But could she ever let him do it for her?
Nora finds herself faced with a secret that could destroy her marriage and her husband’s career. But is that a bad thing? Things are never what they seem. A miracle is on the horizon, but it must never be allowed to happen.
