It has been announced that Jessica Chastain (The Good Nurse) will return to Broadway in Spring 2023 to play Nora in Amy Herzog’s new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, directed by Jamie Lloyd.

Chastain said, “When I sat down with the brilliant Jamie Lloyd five years ago to discuss a possible collaboration, I was over the moon when we decided on A Doll’s House. We were set to start rehearsals in London in April 2020, but little did we know what the world (and a pandemic) had in store for us.

“Walking around the empty theater district made my heart hurt. New York has been my home for over 20 years and it’s immensely important to me to take care of this city and support my artist neighbors.”

“So I couldn’t be happier to play Nora in A Doll’s House on Broadway. I’m very excited to work with Jamie and the incredible Amy Herzog in this city that formed me. I hope in the future to work in the West End but for now I can’t wait to be together with all of the wonderful people of New York and my artistic community on Broadway.”

Chastain will next be seen as country music legend Tammy Wynette in Showtime’s limited series George & Tammy, opposite Michael Shannon as George Jones.

Venue, dates, ticket information, creative team and additional casting details will be announced in due course.
