Cast Set For HIMSELF AND NORA at freeFall
freeFall Theatre will showcase the romantic journey of James Joyce.
freeFall Artistic Director Eric Davis and Resident Musical Director Michael Raabe turn to the literary life of James Joyce and his muse, Nora Barnacle in the romantic and tuneful musical, Himself and Nora.
Himself and Nora stars Robert Teasdale (freeFall's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater) as celebrated author and poet James Joyce, while Katie Davis, in her freeFall debut, gives voice to Nora, whose influence on Joyce's personal and artistic evolution cannot be overstated.
The production is supported by a powerhouse ensemble: Julia Rifino, Drew H. Wells, and Michael Gregory in his freeFall debut portraying key literary and familial figures including Ezra Pound, Sylvia Beach, Harriet Weaver, Giorgio & Lucia Joyce and many more.
Himself and Nora is directed and choreographed by Eric Davis with musical direction by Michael Raabe. The set is designed by Hansen Scenic with lighting design by Trenten Szabo. Davis also designs the costumes and video elements.
About the Play
Himself and Nora is a romantic musical with book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Brielle. It chronicles the turbulent, 37-year relationship between the legendary Irish writer James Joyce and his muse and eventual wife, Nora Barnacle. The score is described as a blend of traditional Irish melodies, lively jigs, and modern pop or musical theater ballads. Originally developed in 2005, the show premiered Off-Broadway in 2016 starring Matt Bogart and Whitney Bashor.
