A Doll’s House（2023） Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre

I went to see a play this week that was adapted from a script I have always loved. Of the many previous versions of A Doll’s House that I have researched, this one was certainly innovative, with its use of white as the dominant colour and a very clean presentation. However, I felt that there were some unfortunate aspects of the play, such as the emotional outburst between the hero and heroine in the second half of the play, which was not handled very well by the director and did not convey the strong emotions that I felt in the text when I read the script.
