Cast Set For A DOLL'S HOUSE at the Crucible

Sheffield Theatres has announced the cast for A Doll's House, which runs in the Crucible from Saturday 21 September – Saturday 12 October 2024. This fresh and resonant new production of Henrik Ibsen's powerful drama is directed by Elin Schofield and adapted by Chris Bush, who reunite after their previous success working together on Sheffield Theatres' 50th anniversary production ROCK / PAPER / SCISSORS and the Olivier Award-winning musical Standing At The Sky's Edge

Aaron Anthony (The Motive and the Cue) will play Dr Rank; Eben Figueiredo (Cyrano De Bergerac) will play Krogstad; Tom Glenister (Chariots of Fire) will play Torvold; Siena Kelly (Adult Material) will play Nora; Mel Lowe (Standing at the Sky's Edge) will play Anna/Pianist; and Eleanor Sutton (Wuthering Heights) will play Christina.

Returning to Sheffield after previously performing in Sheffield Theatres productions is Tom Glenister, who performed in Chariots of Fire earlier this year and Mel Lowe makes her Sheffield debut after recently performing in Standing at the Sky's Edge during it's West End run in London. All other members of the cast make their Sheffield Theatres production debuts with A Doll's House.

“Nobody in this house knows what I'm capable of.”

With a comfortable home, successful husband and three beautiful children, Nora Helmer is the

envy of many. But her happy home is built on false foundations. As long hidden secrets start to surface, Nora begins to question if what she has is the same as what she wants.

Tickets for A Doll's House are on sale now. Tickets can be booked through the Box Office in person, over the phone on 0114 249 6000 or at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk.
