Mabou Mines DollHouse turns Ibsen’s mythic feminist anthem on its head by physicalizing the equation of power and scale. The male characters are all played by actors whose heights range from 3’4″ to 4’5″, while Nora and Kristine are played by tall actresses. Nothing dramatizes Ibsen’s social critique more clearly than the image of these little men dominating and commanding women one-and-a-half times their size in a playhouse-size doll house.
