In a play with so much going for it already, there is the bonus of seeing a young actress come into her own in Swine Palace’s “A Doll’s House.”
Surrounded by equity actors and other outstanding MFA actors, Smith is wonderful as Nora, a young wife and mother trapped in the role society assigned women in the 1870s.
