Odds and Ends on Ibsen
#botd Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), who, as depicted above, could easily have been cast as a member of The Three Keatons.
Ibsen’s name is often paired with Chekhov’s but apart from some relation to realism, and Ibsen’s influence on Chekhov, the two playwrights really have very little to do with one another. Chekhov’s output was very small, and most of it of a stylistic piece:…

'A Doll's House,' Jessica Chastain's Nora is Brilliantly Unbound
You don't want to miss this phenomenal mounting of 'A Doll's House' with script by Amy Herzog and direction by Jamie Lloyd.
Arian Moayed, Jessica Chastain in A Doll’s House (courtesy of A Doll’s House)
As a masterpiece of modern theater Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House presciently foreshadowed the diminution of a women’s role as homemaker, obeying her husband’s every beck and call, like a robot/doll with no autonomy or identity of her own because she was delimited by traditional folkways. A maverick play at the time, A…

Book Review: A Doll's House by: Henrik Ibsen
Nora: It’s true Torvald. When I lived at home with Papa, he used to tell me his opinion about everything, and so I had the same opinion. If I thought differently, I had to hide it from him, or he wouldn’t have liked it. He called me his little doll, and he used to play with me just as I played with my dolls. Then I came to live in your house –
Helmer: That’s no way to talk about our…

The Broadway/Off Broadway Theatre Reviews: Broadway’s A Doll’s House & off-Broadway Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
By Ross
For a revival to find its footing, it has to have a point of view or a sense of purpose far beyond an actor’s desire to perform a part, whether it suits them or not. It needs to radiate an idea that will make us want to sit up and pay attention. To feel its need to exist. And on one…

The rustling under the bed woke Penny. Moving the duvet away, she peered under the bed, looking for the source the sound.
A faint glowing child stared back at her.
‘Who are you? Penny asked.
‘I am Sally,’ came the whispered reply.
‘Why are you under my bed?’ Penny demanded.

Notes on THE SANDMAN Season 1 (2022)
Notes on THE SANDMAN Season 1 (2022)
Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman has finally been adapted into a Netflix Series after decades of stalling, faulty production, and studio malfeasance. Season 1 dropped at the first week of August and after bingeing all 10 episodes, I thought it right to offer my review. TL;DR. I liked the show on the whole and if you haven’t read the original series, this is a wonderful introduction to an amazing fantasy…
