*Show/Role Info:*



*Written as a sequel to Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Lucas Hnath's A Doll’s
House Part II is an intermission-less relentless reunion of Nora with her
daughter, husband and housekeeper. Comedic and passionate, the characters
advocate for their point of view as they excavate the past and try to find
a way to the future. *

*SEEKING:*

*NORA – Female, 40 – 45, any ethnicity. Nora returns to the life she left
behind 15 years after she slammed that door. Strong, independent and
determined to stay free and unencumbered. Like any one who is opinionated
she will have her admirers and detractors. Not sentimental. *

*TORVALD – Male, 45 - 50, any ethnicity. Has Torvald changed over the years
since Nora’s departure? We see him as a mellow middle aged man who was
bewildered with his wife’s departure those 15 years ago. He is genuinely
astonished at her return and allows the bitterness he has held, to finally
explode. *

*ANNE MARIE – Female, 55 – 70, Caucasian. Anne Marie took on the role of
“woman of the house” after the departure of Nora. She is wise, wry and
pretty tired after years of work from being the nanny and later the
surrogate mother. She holds a certain amount of resentment towards Nora as
well. Frank and wry. *

*EMMY - Female, 20 - 25, any ethnicity. Just a little girl when her mother
left 15 years earlier, Emmy still possesses many of Nora’s traits:
confidence, saying what she wants, a certainty. She is conflicted: she
needs her mother’s help but also has anger around her mother leaving her as
a young girl. That she prioritized her needs above her daughters. *
