[NEohioPAL] Mamai Closes its 2017 Summer Season with Ibsen's Masterwork, A DOLL'S HOUSE, adapted by Thornton Wilder!

[Christine via NEohioPAL]

Imagine a devoted wife and mother who makes an unexpected journey to an
unplanned exit with a famous door slam heard around the world. Ibsen’s
1870s classic reshaped through a 1937 adaptation by American master
Thornton Wilder takes audiences on a suspenseful ride to the edge of a
gaping precipice of personal discovery that has a potential gain so great,
that even a mother’s love and a wife’s duty can be swayed to sacrifice.



"A solitary soul is heard gasping as if her last breath were at hand." ~The
New York Times

*"To me [The Testament of Mary is] not blasphemy; it's empathy. And it's
great theater.

~ Andrea Simakis, Cleveland Plain Dealer*


*"Mary’s words sing and McEvoy soars
<http://www.news-herald.com/article/20170707/FEATURES/170709600>." ~Bob
Abelman,** The News-Herald*


*"Anne McEvoy invests [Toíbín's script] with a quiet determination and wry
skepticism that is rich and evocative. And that is something worth seeing,
protests or not."
