Buzz22 Chicago presents Ibsen's masterpiece up close and personal, in an intimate and visceral site-specific production. Set in an actual living room and blurring the line between stage and audience, the immersive production, directed by company member Scott Weinstein, gives audience members the opportunity to live the play alongside the characters and engage with this timeless classic like never before.
On the surface, Nora lives the perfect life as a devoted mother, daughter and wife. But how real is it? On Christmas Eve, Nora finds her world turned upside down when the past returns to haunt her. As the facade crumbles around her she is forced to reexamine her own self worth and the choices she has made.
The cast features company members Fred Geyer (Krogstad) and Rebecca Loeser (Helene), with Anne Leone (Nora), Jack Birdwell (Torvald), Elise Walter (Mrs. Linde),
Michael Moran (Dr. Rank), Kirsty Collins (Anne-Marie), Olive Cantor (Emmy) and Tyler Bednar (Ivar).
