When Nora's husband Hellmer enters, his appearance is an ironic inevitability: the males in this cast are performed by little people, men no taller than four and a half feet. Suddenly we perceive that the dollhouse in which Nora and her friend awkwardly sit and converse is the perfect size for Nora's children and for Helmer and his male peers, which makes us rethink Henrik Ibsen's original, bringing the play into the twenty-first century.
