Reviews

[Freddy · Rating 5 out of 5]

While the authoritative Fjelde translation is more accurate, Wilder, working off a French translation, produced an enjoyable alternative for his 1937 Broadway production. Helmer doesn’t refer to Nora as his “squirrel” in this one, and the humor and drama seem heightened.
