A DOLL'S HOUSE
A DOLL'S HOUSE by Henrik Ibsen
A New Version by Alan Stanford based on a literary translation by Paul Larkin
Alan Stanford takes on Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” at the Helix Theatre, DCU and is showing there until the 27th of November 2009.
A Dolls house is a play centred around Nora- A housewife and mother of two set in 1879. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Doll'... )
This play explores the feminine housewife role in the late 1800’s and brings us on a journey of what seems like a ditzy blonde housewife which turns into a story about a smart woman with dark secrets. As we are introduced to the basic set design/home of the Helmers we are introduced to the role of husband and wife and the hilarious but business like relationship between Nora and her husband Torvald played by Lisa Lambe and Peter Gaynor, superbly. As the play unravels we discover dark secrets, which as the plot unfolds we begin taking a frantic and daunting journey with the central character. How will she keep her secrets or what will be the consequence of keeping them? This play explores blackmail, deceit, love, friendship and betrayal.
Overall this play didn’t offer an exhilarating thrill. It seemed like the perfect play to take your grandparents to though!

The Last Days Of A Reluctant Tyrant.
Arina’-The reluctant tyrant in question, a poor servant girl, who marries into a family a class above her. Who then works tirelessly, to build a property and land empire, ruling her new family with a ‘velvet-glove’ that only a true matriarch can.
Spawning three sons, Steven, Peter and Paul, and expanding her empire, at the expense of all else, including her own salvation. The death of the prodigal son-Steven, makes Arina rethink her life and relinquishes her power, divides up the empire, to her remaining sons and moves out to seek a better life.
The ensuing collapse, deaths and hopelessness’ of her family to carry on the family empire, see Arina once again return to the head of the family, to save what is left. The final scene of the play is Arina’s; played by Marie Mullen, Tour de force performance, and had me quaking in my boots.
Inspired by a 19th Century novel – The Golovlyov family by Mikhail Saltykov-Shehedrin it emphasises the futility of greed and religious insincerity. Using the dramatic effect of playwrights such as Anton Chekhov, the long speeches and the characters physicality, help develop the underlying tension, and unsaid thoughts and dreams of all on stage.
The play set over a 10 year period, includes a large ensemble cast who all play their parts well. This all helps to establish an epic Brechtian feel to the piece.
Steven-played by Darragh Kelly gives a wonderfully extravagant performance, as the long-lost son, who has been living the life of excess for many years. The other two brothers; Peter played by Declan Conlon, develops a sinister and pious character, whilst Paul played by Frank McCusker as the under-valued son both play their parts well. One other fine performance, was from Anna played by Janice Byrne, a joy to behold on stage.
The play has a ‘Groundhog day’ feel, with events continually repeating them selves. Tom Murphy’s writing is epic, which makes the show nearly 3 hours long.
Tom Piper’s set, with large planks of wood towering over the stage, creates a very masculine back-drop, where only the strongest survive. These multi-layered sets have been seen in other productions lately namely: Solemn Mass for a Full Moon and Jason Byrne’s The Comedy of Errors. This helps to use the space to great effect, allowing the family ghost to re-appear as if to prick the conscious of the remaining characters. The lightening too, by Ben Ormerod, works magically to transform the stage from one scene to another.
Overall the show is an enthusiastically played piece, leaving you breathless at the end. The epic nature of the writing and acting, builds to a magnificent climax, where only the reluctant tyrant could survive.

Marble by Marina Carr- Abbey Theatre
Directed by Jeremy Herrin, Marble is another excellent work from Marina Carr and is now showing in the Abbey Theatre, Dublin until the 14th of March 2009. For those of you who are not familiar with Marina Carr she is known for writing excellent and compelling stories that touch on depression and the harsh realities of life. Some of her great other works include “Woman and Scarecrow” and “Ariel and Meat and Salt”. Marble is a story revolving around 2 couples, Ben and Catherine and Art and Anne. The play opens while the two men and colleagues share a brandy and discuss sex, while Art confesses to Ben he has been having erotic dreams about Ben's wife. As the play unfolds we are brought into the harsh realities of couples with children and their average day and it explores how those of us with big dreams are shot down to earth with everyone else who isn’t as ambitious, painting a picture of a thin line between sane and insane. This play revolves around a dream; a dream with lots of marble with erotic encounters. We discover straight away that Art and Anne(Ben’s wife) have been having the same dreams about each other although they rarely meet. Anne is played by Aisling O’Sullivan brilliantly as she brings us on a journey of a woman in a marriage, with kids that is no longer in love and lusts and longs for a new life even if it means crossing the line between sanity and fidelity. Anne is played by Derbhla Crotty, who once you get to know, you can see why she delivers the work of Marina Carr brilliantly, capturing depression and wit in reality so visible to us all. The Abbey Theatre again never fails to amaze its patron's with its set and lighting design as it moves swiftly from plush marble home to plush marble home and drink stops along the way. This play along with any other of Marina Carr’s works is definitely worth going to see. It will make you identify with harsh realities and open your thoughts to the journey of life itself.
