It is telling that this production is sponsored by the Norwegian Embassy – the talented cast and crew capture the central theme so acutely.
THE STAGE (Natalie Woolman)
This is a precise, surreal, Nora-centric take on A Dolls House with a consistently strong cast who successfully embrace and convey the varied issues that the play raises.
EXTRA EXTRA (Vanessa Bunn)
In the ever-expanding suburb of English Dolls Houses, Alex Cramptons for Space Productions finds its own avenue. A cul de sac, rather than a through-route, for imitations will hardly have the inventive freshness of this.
REVIEWSGATE (Timothy Ramsden)
This is one of the best examples of fringe productions – willing to take risks based on sound analysis, a strong vision and confident creativity.
LONDON THEATRE (Peter Brown)
In terms of acting, every member of the cast is superb, each giving a powerful and well-rounded performance.
INDEPENDENT (Neela Debnath)
Where the extent of Noras difficulties can seem ridiculous in the wrong hands, director Alex Crampton seeks to bring the power play of this marriage, and Noras social vulnerability to a modern audience. This production, and Gina Abolins central performance, succeed in making her plight important and truthful.
WHATS ON STAGE (Tom Sudron)
A darkly haunting and refreshing interpretation of Ibsens classic … Alex Cramptons direction magnifies the relevance of the plays central themes in todays society. A culture which is obsessed by image and material wealth.
