Mrs. Nora Helmer is a loose brained housewife of the Victorian era. Nora does not have any comprehension of the value of money or children; all she knows is that when you have money you are rich and can spend it, and children are there for her enjoyment. Her husband, Mr. Torvald Helmer, just got promoted to Manager of the Savings Bank, and tells Nora (his little "skylark") that even though he is making more money, she still cannot spend it all without thinking. During the Christmas holidays, her old friend Kristina, a widow for three years, co

I really enjoyed this play!- especially the actors, and how professionally they seemed to be involved in their roles. The staff, ushers and ticket sales seemed to be very friendly and helpful. The rest room, although old, were kept up and sanitary. The seats were comfortable fold-down seats with built in cushions. Lights were not too dramatic, used more as just light, rather than special effects, but were effective, The set itself was overly decorated with marvelous textures of Victorian wall paper, wood paneling, a fainting couch, a piano, a grandfather clock, a fireplace, and many family pictures on the walls. Costumes were out, and out beautifully crafted, and they looked as if they were from that era of dress. All of these elements combined to create a memorable experience for me, and I hope to see yet another fabulous play by the Hillberry Theatre in Detroit.

father, was her own. In addition, the date was signed three days after her father died, making it a clear forgery. Krogstad threatens Nora with this forgery, because now his banking job is being threatened by Torvald, because he does not want anyone with a bad reputation working at his bank. Nora is left with the decision to accept her fate, or to convince Torvald to let Krogstad keep his job. Of course Torvald thinks what Nora is saying is erroneous, and reassures Nora what he is doing is for the better. Nora goes into deeper depression and despair, going through moments of cover up and embarrassment, until the day comes where Krogstad gets laid off, and he drops a notice letter of the forgery in Torvald's locked mailbox (only Torvald has the key). For a while Nora claws at the mail box and then tries to keep Torvald occupied from it for the longest time she can, until he can no longer take Nora's silly games and opens the box and reads the letter inside. Outraged, Torvald screams at Nora, and admits she is the ruin of him. Later on Kristina, talks to Krogstad and convinces him out of his evil ways, and they decided to get married, causing Krogstad to drop another letter (a letter of apologies), into the mailbox. Torvald sees the letter, opens it, and is instantly relieved. Torvald throws all the evidence of the forgery into the fireplace. He now settles from his anger, and tries to soothe, poor, ignorant and stupid Nora. But Nora, through this experience, has changed her opinions about Torvald, the children and money. She tells Torvald that they never had a real wife to husband conversation ever since they got married, and Torvald never treated her as a person; just a pet, his little "skylark," here jus
