I totally agree with you Ruchira! I liked the play really much and I was also amazed of the actors acting skills. I was amazed how the director made the play interesting with just 1 scene (backdrop) because mostly when we watch movies or anything like this. The transitions of the scene is considered another factor that attracts audiences eyes. But in this play even though there are only 1 backdrop I was still amazed how it fits with the play really well. And by the tones of the actors, I was able to understand more about the play. I was also amazed of how much dialogues the actor that played as Nora had to memorized!

I enjoyed the play a lot. Not only I was impressed by the actors' skills of expressing their characters so well, but also I thought the play was meaningful and taught me something. After finding out what happens in the Act 3, I felt good about the ending in which Nora leaves Helmer to come out of the Doll's House and experience the world without any need to please her family by being treated as a Doll. Though it was sad, it was a great ending. And this play was able to make me acknowledge the fact that women had to tragically lived under men's authority. But in fact, women are actually stronger and more mature than men.

I enjoyed watching it. I liked the way actors act and they were good. Also, just like you said, instead of just reading the play, watching visually helped me a lot understanding the play. Although the seats were really sucked! I liked the flow of story. Especially the Q&A session was brilliant it was really impressive and a new experience for me. I mean it would be really rare to experience those thing. I enjoyed everything but the seat really sucked.

I enjoyed watching the play, the actors, and their acting were really good. Also i really understood by how much they love to play, it seemed like it was for real no script was needed. Lastly i was pretty amazed by how they know their characters and how they can change over the time. Its just proves how much they care about play.

I also loved the play. It was so more easier to understand the play now that I can actually see the emotions and actions of the characters and more impressive. I was able to feel more excited than I ever was reading the play in class. I was glad that we got to have this great opportunity. But I did wish that the actors could have done some humorous improvises that would have made it funnier to watch since we were watching a play that is more friendly than formal, considering that the theater was a small place and we were a small audience. Other than that though, I thought the play was perfect. I hope we'll get another opportunity like this some time soon.

I liked the played alot. Eveyone in the play acted so realistically that I didn't know whether some acts were real or just an act. Especially when Dr. Rank walked weirdly, I thought he just walked like that in real. But when I realized that those were all fake and was just an act, I was very surprised.
This play is very memorial to me because this was my first time watching such a play. I would want to see it one more time if I can. Also, I loved the Q&A section!!

I liked the play because it described the book visually. It was hard to understand the whole plot just by reading but now I know how they worked out. Q&A section was interesting, since some of the questions were the ones actors can answer. I also noticed that their script was different from original story, which means that they translated it to make us understand easily.

I liked the play so much. The actors' effort was amazing. It was also easy for me to see what the characters are thinking, since acting shows the characters' tone and emotions really well. One thing I was concerned about was the play set, since it looked a bit fragile because it shake a lot whenever someone closes the door. Other than that, the play was really worth watching.

XDXD i agree, the show got me sitting at the edge of the chair most of the times. They also had the stage and sound effects well planned so that a small space could capture nearly everything. I think the play also got me to understand more about the play. I also realized parts that was blurry in my mind, being explained through the act.

Okay, the play was great! The actors were great and as a drama class student, we should learn from them. And how they memorized all the lines were so cool. I once had a long long seriously long monologue to memorize and that almost suffocated me. I should use what the actors there used. I loved the casting, especially Dr. Rank. His hair looked so cool and I agree with what Ruchira was keep telling me during the play.
In English way, it was great! I agree with Ms. Boyd that plays are meant to be watched not read. I could understand way better watching the play. With actors' intonations and face expressions, I could understand better about character's feeling and personality. Also Nora's personality change was evident. The price was cheap too! Just.... just.... chair was really uncomfortable and there was no heater. But overall, I liked it.

i thought that the actors fitted the parts perfectly. Nora was just as hyperactive and cheerful as I had imagined her to be, Torvald had that perfectly condescending and superior tone in his voice, and I was glad that Dr. Rank's actor put on the limp for the play, since his illness wasn't really clear from the script. I also really enjoyed how the actors, especially Nora's brought more humor to the play than the script showed. And I thought that Nora and Torvald's actors did a really good job since there were times that I felt like standing up and shouting out how I felt in that scene.

I like it. I had a good time. But I didnt get a lot of parts because they use difficult English. But actors were very nice.

When I the play, I was only really waiting about the Third act because that was the only part that I was really interested in. I was expecting a very happy ending for the play, however it turned my expectation over by the tragic end. It was also kind of interesting seeing the actors act and seeing how the "Doll House" in a real life way. I was thinking it in a different way while I was reading the play, a bit more less serious.

I agree with nadira, most of the actors were perfectly suited. Nora was joyful and what do you say, childish, as expected trovald was the husband i imagined to be, who thinks hes the best. However, mrs. Linde and dr rank was totally unexpected. Mrs. Linde, i expected her to be more depressing and have that sadness showed on her face. But she wasnt that sad.. Also, dr. Rank, on the other hand i imagined him to be more happy than he is depressing in the play..i enjoyed the play.. So who cares...
