I really liked this clever production which split Nora's role into three. One was from 1918 whose undoing was a loan agreement; the second was 1968 who had a credit card debt and the third was contemporary with a payday loan. They had the deportment of their eras but their issues were the same. So too was the essential attitude of the controlling husband - played by just the one Luke Norris. Whilst his diction altered to suit the era, his controlling and essentially unsympathetic attitude remained the same - both to his wife and to his employee who was to be made redundant at Christmas time.
The synchronisation between the three Nora's coming in and out of role and also adopting the role of the friend was faultless, and also not a distraction. I found the whole 105 minutes engaging and I was gripped to see the story unfold. The critics were united in their three stars which seemed to me ungenerous.
