A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART TWO available Sunday 9/13 only
by Richard Zenk 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

On Sunday, September 13, see a great show written by Lucas Hnath, A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART TWO from Equality Productions. As a door slams in 1879 Norway, a young wife and mother leaves behind her family, freeing herself from the shackles of traditional societal constraints. Now, 15 years later, that same door opens to reveal Nora, a changed woman with an incredibly awkward favor to ask the people who she abandoned. Lucas Hnath's bitingly funny sequel to Ibsen's revolutionary masterpiece unfolds in a series of bristling stand-offs that reveal in Nora's world, much like our own, behind every opinion there is a person, and a slamming door isn't just an end, but also the chance for a new beginning. Preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMtzisqsjnI To purchase a ticket to the play, make a donation to one or more of the three charities listed below. The suggested donation is $10, but donate what you can. Email the receipt or screenshot of your donation to equalityproductionscincy(a)gmail.com. You will then receive a link via email to the video on 9/13. The video will only be available to watch on 9/13.

HEDDA GABLER production by Equality Production premieres Saturday, 9/12
by Richard Zenk 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Beginning on Saturday, September 12, in an experience that is cinematic, socially distanced, updated and adapted, Equality Productions presents “Hedda Gabler" like you’ve never seen it. “Do you think it quite incomprehensible that a young girl - when it can be done without anyone knowing - should be glad to have a peep, now and then, into a world which she is forbidden to know anything about?” Skulking the walls of a house she never wanted and trapped in the confines of a marriage that disgusts her, bored and mercurial Hedda Gabler longs for freedom she will never allow herself. Quietly, maliciously, and perhaps desperately, she begins to manipulate the lives of those around her, orchestrating a bid for agency that careens toward self-destruction. Ibsen’s electrifying Hedda Gabler paints the snarled portrait of a woman whose character is not easily resolved and forces us to confront the humanity of those monsters fashioned in captivity. Part One premieres 9/12 followed by Part Two on 9/19. Audition notice: The production contains profanity, suicide/self harm, depictions/discussions of gun violence. To view the production online, make a donation of $10 (or "donate what you can") to one or more of the three charities listed below. Donate via the links provided below then email the receipt of your donation to equalityproductionscincy(a)gmail.com. You will then receive a link via email to the video the evening on or after 9/12. Part One of the play is available to be viewed through 9/27. Part Two will be available on 9/19 for a separate $10 donation and will be available to view online until 9/27. The talented group of actors and director, Casey Venema, volunteered their talents to raise money for three worthy organizations: Hedda Gabler: Mukta Phatak Eilert Lovborg: Gabriel Calleja Thea Elvsted: Tristan Harness George Tesman: Mark Ashin Judge Brack: Charles Massey Julia Tesman: Samantha Phillips-Norton Berta: Dallas Stark Understudy: Jessica Mount 1.
