Nora Helmer has a deep secret—one that if revealed would ruin her happy marriage to Torvald. Nora’s desperation to keep the truth from her husband forces her to set out on a transforming journey through a suspenseful turn of events, ending in betrayal and self-awakening. Henrik Ibsen’s 19th century masterpiece is a lesson of the true meaning of love, sacrifice and happiness.

Reviews
the Actors' Studio production fully engages ...Julie Layton rules the stage as Nora..Patrick Huber's set is a marvel!
Richard Green, Talkin' Broadway
Absorbing and rewarding production
Andrea Braun, Playback STL
Much could be said about Julie Layton's valiant Nora — how she begins as animatedly as a bobblehead doll and how, as maturity takes hold, it is accompanied by an almost deathly stillness, as if she can sense the gravity of what she is about to do. But the truest measure of Layton's portrayal is to be found not in what happens onstage but rather in what occurs in the audience. During intermission women who barely knew each other found camaraderie in talking about how affected they were by Nora. A 131-year-old play was making contact, and that contact was being channeled through Layton.
Dennis Brown, Riverfront Times
When performed as resoundingly as by the cast of this St. Louis Actors’ Studio production under the expert tutelage of director Milt Zoth, it makes for a compelling and extremely satisfying evening of thought-provoking reflection. 5 on a scale of 1 to 5!
