The League of Youth: 3.5 stars
I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the other plays, though it is entertaining and the ending is satisfying. I can’t help but think it was a bit long.
A Doll’s House: 4 stars
This is a play which looks at the roles and restrictions placed on women in marriage. Some of the themes in this play are relevant today, it’s very feminist, all the more surprising because it was written by a man in the 1800s. However, I enjoyed this play also from an entertainment outlook. It’s a good play, though I don’t agree with a choice at the end.
The Lady From the Sea: 3.5 stars
I didn’t like it as much as A Doll’s House. While the synopsis says that it is also about restrictions and marriage like A Doll’s House, I think that this is more about choice. Also feminist, but I don’t read for social justice. I didn’t like one of the side relationships, with a former tutor and tutee(?), but that is my biggest complaint. On the whole, it was enjoyable enough.
Overall: 4 stars

Dit verhaal heeft zo ongelofelijk veel invloed gehad op de theatergeschiedenis, dat wil je niet weten.

I re-read A Doll's House (trans. Rolf Fjelde and rendered as "A Doll House") out of a random anthology. I remember reading it freshman year of high school; our culminating assignment was to act out a custody hearing to see if Torvald or Nora would get the kids. In retrospect, that totally misses the point, but we did have Nora's eldest son enact scenes of his parents on the stand using my brother's Ken-sized Stormtrooper dolls, so it wasn't a total wash.
