"A Doll's House" takes stage at Sul Ross
A Chicano adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s classic, “A Doll’s House,” will be the final production of the 2007-2008 Sul Ross State University theatre season. Performances will be held April 25-May 3 in the Studio Theatre, Francois Fine Arts Building.
Liz Castillo, director and playwright, has written a modern, Chicano adaptation of Ibsen’s revolutionary 1879 play, “Casa de Muñeca.” It is said that Ibsen felt that, rather than merely live together, husband and wife should live as equals, free to become their own human beings, and consequently, Ibsen’s critics attacked him for failing to respect the institution of marriage.
Castillo’s Spanish-English update follows the same theme and how it still remains an issue of conflict in many households today. Castillo’s version takes the main idea of Ibsen’s play, moves it to a modern, border-town family. In Castillo’s play, as in Ibsen’s, Nora, a devoted wife and mother, finally realizes that her husband’s pride will never allow her to become an equal. Will Nora be able to accept her role as her husband’s “muñeca (doll)” and never an equal?
Castillo has set her adaptation in a small college/Texas border town and has included both English and Spanish in the script as another step towards establishing bilingual theatre in the Big Bend region.
