Director Chris Abraham’s sumptuous in-the-round period production of this infrequently produced 1886 Henrik Ibsen play is full of breathtaking contrasts between light and dark in its design.
, produced at Crow’s in a recent adaptation by the British playwright Duncan MacMillan, is a dramatization of how hard it is to be a complex, shaded human being at a time when politics are starkly divided and morality is black and white. John, however, has in fact recently come around to more liberated mode of thought alongside Rebecca West , a friend of his late wife who resides in the manor with him.Dahlia Katz/Supplied
John and Rebecca are politically on the same page, but are there romantic feelings between them too – and, if so, when did those begin? And what exactly made Beata jump off the footbridge visible outside the windows at Rosmersholm? Who is Rebecca, really? While this is all very compelling, the psychological dynamics of Ibsen’s play – proto-psychological, really – are not as clearly outlined for the audience.
