David C. Nichols' 10 Standout L.A. Theater Performances

1. Jeanette Driver in “Nora”

“Definitive” is an overused word, but in Ingmar Bergman’s compression of “A Doll’s House,” at Pacific Resident Theatre, Driver made Henrik Ibsen’s Nora Helmer her own with astonishing grace. Growing from calibrated girlishness to gravitas to a quietly profound stillness, Driver exhibited the very marrow and soul of her character.
