Ibsen's 'A Doll's House', directed by Jon Kvaal Pederson, played its final night on Sat. 23^rd. to a full house.

A compelling story of lies and intrigues within a traditional marriage, the play showed the principal female Nora's development from petted 'doll'..to mature and independent woman….a unique and daring view for a play of its time.

All the performances conveyed the feeling of intense claustrophobia and suppressed passion which was the convention of the time and contributed to the build-up of tension which was central to the story.

Celia Bochmann's performance as Nora was both memorable and compelling.
