The Sherman Players Announce Auditions for ‘A Doll’s House, Part 2’ The Sherman Players are seeking a non-equity cast for their upcoming production of Lucas Hnath’s Tony Award Winning play, ‘A Doll’s House, Part 2’. The production runs Sept.17th – Oct. 9th, 2021.
About ‘A Doll’s House, Part 2’
15 years after Norwegian housewife Nora Helmer walked out on Ibsen’s Torvald, she walks back in the front door in the sequel to the 1879 social drama. In the ensuing years of her departure, Nora has become an incendiary writer — which isn’t a profession that married women could perform without permission. Since her husband didn’t sign the divorce papers, Nora has returned to the house she desperately sought to vacate to gain her freedom. With a quick wit and razor-sharp tongue, A Doll’s House, Part 2 imagines the continuation of the house of Helmer as a deliciously gleeful trek through the complicated waters of relationships. Hnath’s new take on this Ibsen classic explores gender roles and societal expectations through the eyes of a woman mired in an era for which she is simply too exceptional. Ben Brantley of The New York Times called it a “…smart, funny, and utterly engrossing new play”.
Who?
Role Breakdown –
NORA - Mid 40’s- late 50’s. An independent, intelligent and very successful author. She takes great pride in her success and autonomy.
TORVALD - mid - late 50s. Nora’s estranged husband. Mild-mannered, keeps his feelings and emotions close to the vest, though he has many.
ANN MARIE - Late 60s - mid 70s. The Helmer’s nanny. Honest, blunt and big-hearted.
EMMY - Early-mid 20’s. Nora’s and Torvald’s daughter. Young, but not to be underestimated. Cunning and wise, self-aware, and in some ways, a traditional romantic.
