The cast of A Doll’s House includes Catherine Eaton (Guthrie: A Christmas Carol, Julius Caesar, The Importance of Being Earnest) as Kristine Linde, Ricardo Chavira (Guthrie: Shane, An Enemy of the People, A Streetcar Named Desire) as Nils Krogstad, George Keller (Guthrie: Dollhouse) as Anne-Marie, David Andrew Macdonald (Guthrie: Richard II, Dial M for Murder) as Torvald Helmer, Andrew May (Guthrie: The Mousetrap, Murder on the Orient Express) as Dr. Rank and Amelia Pedlow (Guthrie: Emma, Frankenstein – Playing With Fire) as Nora Helmer.

(NYC Casting Consultant).
A Doll’s House follows housewife and mother Nora Helmer, who lives a delicately constructed — and seemingly perfect — life focused on keeping up appearances and meeting expectations. When a long-held secret comes to light on Christmas Eve, the foundation of Nora’s world begins to crumble. The blackmail and lingering resentments that emerge force her to come to terms with the fragile facade of her doll-like existence. Torn between playing the part that’s been built for her or leaving behind everything she’s ever known, Nora is faced with an impossible choice. Ibsen’s seminal drama returns to the Guthrie in this thrilling adaptation by Pulitzer finalist and Tony nominee Amy Herzog.
Originally written in Norwegian, A Doll’s House premiered at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on December 21, 1879. The play was met with acclaim that spread across continental Europe and beyond. In 2020, Amy Herzog was commissioned to adapt A Doll’s House for a potential West End production directed by Jamie Lloyd and featuring actor Jessica Chastain as Nora. The play opened on Broadway on March 9, 2023, at the Hudson Theatre and was nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play. The play also won three Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Adaptation.
