Sophia Englesberg is a star in Denmark. The play is set at a family’s beach house at blue hour, the soft light and the intimate living room set lulling the audience into a false sense of cozy security, and then claustrophobia as the family dynamics escalate and then collapse in on themselves. Denmark is funny despite its darkness, and in some senses, I find it to trigger a sentiment of nostalgia, which then I find to be strange, because it really is quite dark. I love a storyline that contrasts aesthetic beauty with psychological hell, suburban bliss, a bitter recalling of fond memories and bygone times that increasingly, you begin to feel are half fabricated tricks of the mind, fragments of the imagination.
