John Decker, Stephanie Mumford and Steve LaRoque in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House |
A Doll's House
by Henrik Ibsen
November 8 - December 8, 2002
Directed by Jack Sbarbori. Featuring John Decker, Sharon Dodd, Erika Imhoof/Cody Jones, Steve LaRocque, Stephanie Mumford, and Nick Sampson.
The Quotidian Theatre Company has transported Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House from Norway circa 1879, to Galveston, Texas, in 1918 -- and the change works well. ...Steve LaRocque and Erika Imhoof, in particular, enliven every scene they enter. ...the play hangs on the delicate shoulders of Nola (Ibsen's Nora) -- a difficult character to play. Mumford, a charming Nola, aces both magnolia and steel aspects of the role -- Pamela Winters, City Paper

Nick Sampson and Erika Imhoof in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House |
...the shift...to twentieth century Texas helps modern audiences connect... a realism...that leaves the actors on their own to reveal the inner workings of their characters' minds. The cast does that well, especially Mumford and Nick Sampson -- Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages
...(the production) is gifted with a luminous and vivid heroine in Stephanie Mumford (who) lifts the production from the merely interesting to the downright riveting at times. -- Diane Ney, Plays International, February 2003 |
