A Doll's House starring Jessica Chastain has been postponed until 2021. Exact dates TBD.

Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain will swap the big screen for the London stage to make her UK theatre debut in a production of A Doll's House.


Known around the world for playing strong-willed women in hit films including Molly's Game, X-Men and Zero Dark Thirty, Chastain has also proven her talents on Broadway in Othello, The Cherry Orchard and The Heiress.


In 2021, she will play Nora in a new version of Henrik Ibsen's proto-feminist 1879 play, A Doll's House, as part of director Jamie Lloyd's year-long residency at the Playhouse Theatre. Commenting on the announcement, Lloyd said:


'Our aim is to work with the most exceptional actors in the world, offering them new and unexpected challenges. Jessica Chastain is a gifted artist and is, of course, well known and respected for her extraordinary screen performances. However, I’m delighted she is now returning to the stage – where her career began – in this bold reappraisal of Ibsen’s great masterpiece.”


Irish playwright and esteemed adaptor Frank McGuiness will re-work Ibsen's text for the new production. With themes of frustration and female empowerment, A Doll's House has rich potential for contemporary relevance. The story of a dissatisfied, secretive housewife who abandons her family for independence caused a controversy when it opened, and continues to resonate all around the world on its regular revivals.


With a Hollywood star playing the compelling part of Nora, this production of A Doll's House is set to cause a stir.


As part of a commitment to making theatre more accessible and democratic, The Jamie Lloyd Theatre Company in partnership with British Airways, will offer 15,000 free tickets and 15,000 £15 tickets across the season. These tickets will be for under-30s, key workers and those receiving certain government benefits.
