Title: A Doll’s House Presented By: Villanova Players Genre: Drama / Classic Theatre Synopsis: Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a play about awakening – and the personal cost of clarity. Set in late 19th century Norway, A Doll’s House is a high-stakes domestic drama that remains as vital today when it was written in 1879. Nora Helmer lives a carefully constructed life built on a secret she has carried for years: a deceit she engaged in to save her husband Torvald’s life. When a desperate blackmailer threatens to expose her secret, Nora is forced to confront the reality of her marriage, her life, and herself. The play explores the emotional cost of honesty, the struggle for self-determination, and the courage it takes to see one’s life clearly. The play is a landmark of modern drama and shocked audiences of the time with its naturalism and unflinching examination of marriage, gender roles, and societal expectations. In 2026 when expectations and societal pressures seem to be ever bearing, when personal choice and identity has been almost swapped for convenience and acceptance, A Doll’s House is as relevant today as it ever has been. This new production aims to invite a 21st century audience to the play while remaining truthful to Ibsen’s original text.

Creative Team: Director - Luke Monsour Production Website: Villanova Players Theatre - A Doll's House Other Information: Villanova Players welcomes participation from all community members and encourages diverse backgrounds, identities, and experience levels. Available Roles / Character Breakdown: NORA HELMER: Female, late 20s – 30s A woman who appears playful, naïve, and dependent, but is revealed to have a complicated inner life that leaves her fundamentally in conflict with the social expectations that entrap her. Nora is not naïve or childish; she is learning to articulate truths she has long felt but never named. TORVALD HELMER: Male, 30s – 40s Nora’s husband who is charming, articulate, socially respectedand highly principled, embodying the rigid moral standards of patriarchal society. We are seeking actors who can make Torvald recognisably human, not villainous. DOCTOR RANK: Male, 40s – 50s A close family friend of the Helmers; he is witty, intelligent, and emotionally perceptive. Rank uses humour to mask loneliness and physical decline. The role requires subtlety, restraint, and the ability to communicate deep feeling without demanding attention. KRISTINE LINDE: Female, 30s – 40s Nora’s school friend, a widow who has endured hardship and supported her family all her life; she is practical, grounded and emotionally mature. NILS KROGSTAD: Male, 30s – 40s A man marked by past disgrace and present desperation. Krogstad must be a threat, but also vulnerable. This is not a “villain” role, but a deeply human one.
