SHOW DESCRIPTION:

In 1879, Nora Helmer walked out the door, leaving her family and societal constraints behind her. Now 15 years later there is a knock on the same door. Why has she returned? Sparks fly as the past and present collide in this taut theatrical showdown. Behind every ending is a new beginning.

CAST REQUIREMENTS: (3 Females, 1 male, 4 ensemble members)

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.
