I took a course called Understanding of Play/Theater when I was in Korea. At the end of the semester, we held a show performing what we prepared during the semester. Our team played a shorten version of A Doll’s House.
We decided to play Nora with two actresses - one for the Nora who was a weak and passive housewife in the front part of the play, and second player for the Nora who decided to live her own life leaving her house.
The first actress put a make-up like a pretty doll not a human girl – with long eyelash, pink cheeks, and high hills. The second girl is generally looks like the first one –because they are same girl, Nora – but she wears sneakers. We wanted to show the change of her inside – to an independent, smart woman.
We also changed the angle of the stage (we moved all the furniture slightly out of the straight) in the last scene that Nora leaves her house, to show Nora’s perspective of the world changed. It is the same room, but everything looks different from the last time.
