A Doll's House

Janice Stevens directs this superb adaptation (by Capital Stage's founding artistic director Stephanie Gularte) of Henrik Ibsen's classic. Long (three acts running to almost three hours with two intermissions), it takes the time it needs to tell the story of a family's unraveling as the heroine begins to assemble an authentic life. Brittni Barger and Ryan Snyder play the troubled couple, with strong support from Scott Coopwood, Elena Wright, Chad Deverman and Sandra Hill. Th, F 8pm, Sa 2 and 8pm; Su 2 pm; W 7pm; Through 11/22.
