Krogstadt in the House
Monday, July 25th, 2011
The Berkshire Eagle‘s Jeffrey Borak had some very nice comments about our Adam in his latest production, A Doll’s House at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Calling Adam “brilliant in projecting a whole range of feelings and fleeting personae in his role of the despised Krogstadt,” Borak described his portrayal as “played with impressive imagination and color.” He further notes, “(Rothenberg) managed to combine the feeling of entitlement of a disgraced person who has paid his debt to society … and a sleazy outsider who has to resort to schemes—basically blackmail—to achieve his goals. his performance was a perfectly disheveled tour de force.”
A Doll’s House is playing through July 31st.
UPDATE (July 26, 2011):
Don Aucoin at The Boston Globe noted that “Rothenberg brings an angry edge to Krogstad’s bitterness; his scenes with Rabe are among the play’s most riveting” and The New York Times‘ Christopher Isherwood raves that Adam “gives an effective, darkly colored performance as a shaggy-haired, dour Nils, willing to poison Nora and Torvald’s marriage even if it means his own destruction.”
