ABOUT
A Doll’s House is a gripping psychological drama that shatters the illusion of a perfect marriage. Nora Helmer has spent years playing the role of the ideal wife, but a long-buried secret threatens to unravel everything. When the truth is exposed, Nora is forced to confront the rigid expectations of marriage, identity, and independence. As the stakes rise, she makes a choice that changed theatre forever.

Nearly 150 years after Ibsen’s celebrated play shocked audiences and ushered in a new era of theatre, acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog has reawakened the classic drama in a thrillingly efficient and contemporary 110-minute English adaptation.

CAST

Nora Helmer – Bright, charming, and seemingly carefree, but hiding a sharp mind and a dangerous secret. Her journey from doting wife to independent woman is the heart of the play.

Torvald Helmer – Nora’s confident, career-driven husband. Loves control and sees Nora as his perfect little wife—until she stops playing along.

Kristine Linde – Nora’s old friend, practical and independent. She’s been through hardship and sees the world for what it is.

Nils Krogstad – A man with a tarnished reputation, desperate to hold on to what little power he has. More complex than he first appears.

Dr. Rank – Witty, wealthy, and secretly in love with Nora. Knows he’s dying, so he tells the truth like no one else does.

Anne-Marie – The nanny who once gave up her own child. Loyal but knows how the world works.
