Doll's house / Ibsen, Henrik; Tornqvist, Egil 1995  Book
Tornqvist, Egil Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1995.
Description xv, 210pPurple spine
Summary/Abstract This new critical study of Ibsen's A Doll's House addresses fundamental questions of text, reception and performance. What is the definitive 'version' of A Doll's House: original text, translation, stage presentation, radio version, adaptation to film or television? What occurs when a drama intended for recipients in one language is translated into another, or when a play written for the stage is adapted for radio, television or film? And to what extent do differences between the media and between directorial approaches influence the meaning of the play text? Discussions of these issues include an internal analysis of the dramatic text and comparative performance analysis, framed by the biographical background to the play and its impact on dramas by Strindberg, Shaw and O'Neill and on films by Ingmar Bergman.

Summary/Abstract Luigi Pirandello wrote symbolic dramas and satires with radical innovations and departures from conventional theatrical techniques, thereby sparking controversies. This intellectual comedy is "a drama within a drama", wherein six characters gatecrash a rehearsal, demanding 'lines' for their unfinished stories. Embodies Pirandello's innovations of theatre by using a stage without sets. A masterly feat of drama exploring the many facets of reality.
