Doll

ORIGINAL PLAY | P.S. 122, NEW YORK

Written by Erik Forrest Jackson

A ribald contemporary reworking of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Doll takes the original play’s questions of marriage, identity and liberation into the irreverent world of Theatre Couture.

The play received its New York premiere at P.S. 122, part of Erik’s body of downtown theater work with the company.

“The loud thump you hear is indeed Ibsen rolling over in his grave—the cue is written into the script…which is ‘freely adapted with apologies’ from Ibsen. But really, this parody needs no apologies. It’s 90 minutes of high-octane salaciousness, riddled with anachronisms, cheesy jokes and running gags… We’re here to laugh ourselves sick.” —The Washington Post

“Maximum laughs… Infectious… This generation’s
natural successors of Charles Ludlam’s Theater
of the Ridiculous.” —Time Out New York
“A breezy new spoof.” —The New York Post
“Hip and hilarious!” —The Advocate
