Guthrie Theater's "Dollhouse": two weekends left

The fun never ends: the Guthrie's "Dollhouse"

​Did someone happen to mention vacuous, caustic materialism? Well, now that you bring it up, this is the penultimate weekend for the Guthrie's production of Rebecca Gilman's Dollhouse (CP review here), the Ibsen update that brings marital subterfuge and the awfulness beneath shiny domestic appearances into particulars of the new century.  Now that the show is a few weeks in my rear-view mirror, what settles into memory are the brand-specific set, Sarah Agnew's combination of furtiveness and flippancy, and the sense of a marriage in which both parties are set on the same goal: avoiding reality, with all the Herculean effort entailed.
