ABOUT THE SHOW:
Directed by Hannah Bell

In the final scene of A Doll's House, Ibsen’s 1879 groundbreaking masterwork, Nora Helmer makes the shocking decision to leave her husband and children, and begin a life on her own. This climactic event—when Nora slams the door on everything in her life—instantly propelled world drama into the modern age. In A Doll's House, Part 2, many years have passed since Nora’s exit. Now, there’s a knock on that same door. Nora has returned. But why? And what will it mean for those she left behind?

Stipend paid.

ONSTAGE in Bedford cannot engage Equity contracts.

ROLES AVAILABLE:

NORA – F, 43 – 46 (left her husband Torvald and children 15 years earlier) she is impetuous, persuasive, independent, strong willed, spontaneous, possesses sardonic humor, and is savvy smart. A ‘free spirit’ focused more on her own needs. She is on stage during the entire play.

TORVALD – M, 48 – 56, (Nora’s husband, a banker) awkwardly rigid, control is safety, reputation is important, feelings are not to be indulged in, yet he possesses strong feelings beneath a veneer of stoic constraint that some might call constipation.

ANNE MARIE – 60’s – 70’s, (housekeeper to Torvald, who raised Nora’s children when she left her marriage) hard working, strong willed, no one’s fool, a ‘dry’ sense of humor, not easily intimidated by Nora, and possesses a heart of gold.

EMMY – 18 – 21, (Nora’s daughter, was 3-5 years old when her mother left) poised, intelligent, quiet determination, and underneath her graceful polite presence deep waters of emotion churn.
