DollHouse


Ok, we never, never, walk out of productions...mostly.... But we were both dog tired and I was getting over being sick, so we did leave at halftime.

So, here's what the Tribune said: "Lee Breuer's audacious -- and that's putting it mildly -- Mabou Mines DollHouse grabs that social climber Henrik Ibsen by the scrawny skin of his Norwegian neck and shoves him right back into the scalding, populist stewpot of melodrama, sex, power and exploitation that was Victorian entertainment and lives on to this day. This is the precise opposite of pretty much every Doll's House you ever saw in your life."
