Some things I thought were interesting: which is more important? behaving correctly, or actually "being" correct? For Dina, all the correct behavior seems to oppress her instead of encourage her. Also, can one be an example of all that is good if at the same time hiding parts of personal life? Ms. Hessel seems to say "no" - but in such a kind and encouraging way. As Ms. Ellis-Fermor points out in the introduction, this play is very structural in terms of theme and even character. Karsten Bernick takes appalling steps to hide his indiscretions but is saved from himself by the women around him. The conclusion finds him grateful and ready to turn over a new leaf. That part didn't ring true to his character, but certainly was the inevitable result of the structure. Interesting. ( ) Bokklubbens anmeldelse: Er samfunnets støtter samfunnets tjenere? Hvem er de og hvordan er de? De smiler fra førstesideoppslag i avisene og på fjernsynsskjermene. De forvalter størstedelen av samfunnets felles kapital: aksjer og obligasjoner, arbeidsplasser og produskjonsmidler, eiendommer og kontanter. Hvilke verdier har de og hva står de for? I hovedrollene: Lasse Kolsrud, Birgitte Victoria Svendsen og Marit Østby. no reviews | add a review

Calamity strikes when Bernick's business prowess and pristine reputation are threatened by the revelation of a long-buried secret. Desperate to dodge exposure in the kowtowing local community, Bernick devises a pitiless plan which, by a shocking twist of fate, risks the one life he holds dear. The centenary of Ibsen's death is marked with a vital new version of this rarely performed thriller, set amid a society struggling against the rush of capitalism, the lure of America and the passionate beginnings of the fight for female emancipation. Samuel Adamson version of Pillars of the Community premiered at the National Theatre, London, in October 2005. No library descriptions found. |
