BREAKDOWN
A DOLL'S HOUSE
SEEKING:
Torvald Helmer: late 30s to early 50s. Nora’s husband, a lawyer and a newly-promoted manager of a local stock bank, who values appearances and social formalities. He is infatuated with Nora, but he talks down to her and treats her like a doll. He is overly concerned with his status in society.
Doctor Rank: late 30s to early 50s. A family friend, who, unlike Torvald, treats Nora as an intelligent human being. He has a stoic acceptance of his fate, once he learns that his illness is terminal.
Kristine Linde: 40s-50s. One of Nora’s old friends who is practical and down-to-earth. She left her former lover, Krogstad, and married someone else for financial stability, but has now been left bankrupt after her husband’s death. She comes to Nora, looking for a job.
Nils Krogstad: 40s-50s. Kristine’s scorned lover and an employee at Torvald’s bank. He previously helped Nora acquire a loan in order to help her when Torvald fell ill. After Torvald fires him, he uses this loan as blackmail against Nora, trying to get his job back at all costs.
Anne-Marie: 40s-60s. Nora’s former nanny, the only mother-like figure Nora ever knew. A kindly woman who has genuine affection for Nora and takes care of Nora’s children as if they were her own. She gave up her own daughter in order to take the nursing job offered by Nora’s father, having sacrificed her own happiness out of economic necessity.
Nora Helmer: CAST - a wife and mother.
