Burnham-On-Sea’s Princess Theatre is to host a play that explores stigmas around gender and mental health.
Theatrical Niche present ‘A Doll’s House’ this evening (Thursday) at the Burnham theatre at 7.30pm.
“Working with some of the UK’s leading Mental Health charities, we use Verbatim interviews and emotive Choreography to rocket Ibsen’s famous tale into a hugely relevant re-telling for modern audiences,” says a spokeswoman.
“Exploring stigmas around gender and mental health, this artful adaptation focuses on the impossible idolisation of one ‘perfect’ woman, by a man who walks with weights around his ankles.”
A Doll’s House’ showcases the play-writing collaboration of two of Theatrical Niche’s founding members, as well as the direction of critically-acclaimed artist, Alice Sillett.
This new production incorporates the words and intonations of mental abuse and mental health problem sufferers.
Tickets are priced at £12, and £10 for concessions. To buy, call 01278 784464.
