“I’ve got to find out which view is the right one, society’s or mine…”
On Christmas Eve, Nora Helmer, whose world is built entirely around her domineering husband, must confront blackmail, financial ruin, the consequences of her past actions, and the unsettling truth about her life.
Legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman’s adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece, A Doll’s House distills the play down to its essential core. Director Cameron Watson (Antaeus’s Top Girls, Picnic, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Little Foxes) explores the passion and heart of a woman — and a marriage — in crisis.
“Oh, pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring one anywhere?”
When bachelors Jack and Algernon both create alter egos named “Ernest” the lies quickly spiral into chaos, hilarity, cucumber sandwiches, and Victorian handbags.
Oscar Wilde’s “Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” with its sparkling wit, quotable lines, and unforgettable characters promises to be just the antidote for our own troubling times. Antaeus Company member Gigi Bermingham (You Can’t Take It With You) helms this delightful high farce.
