Upon further reflection on this particular dramatization of A Doll's House, I recognized the purposeful blocking of the set and props. The stage is a thrust-out kind of stage where the audience is actually very close to the actors and on three sides of them. This influenced how they set up the stage. They set the stage so that it seems as if you are looking into their home from above, just as you would look into a doll's house when you were a child. This choice enables the audience to see more clearly that the woman is a "doll" in her "doll's house." This set up emphasizes the theme of the play in harmony with the costuming and props.
