Gender and Performance: ‘A Doll’s House’
- Synopsis
- A series of self-contained performance exercises, built around two scenes from Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’, primarily centred on the final scene of the play. This scene is presented by the same actors and with the same production team, in three different period sets and costumes - 1870s, 1950s and 1980s. The film examines the effects of the historical context on issues of gender, particularly changes in language and body language, and looks at the production/rehearsal process to see how certain decisions were arrived at, including choice of text, sets, costumes, make-up, staging, camera angles and characters.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
