In this episode of The Forst Inn Features, hosts Thomas Moore and Kevin Sievert (who also directed the production) sit down with cast members Aubrey Duncan (Nora Helmer) and Cory McElroy (Torvald Helmer), a real-life married couple portraying one of theater’s most iconic—and strained—stage marriages.

Together, we explore the emotional complexity of performing as Nora and Torvald while navigating the irony of doing so alongside your actual spouse. From their approach to breaking down Ibsen’s text to the way they challenged and supported each other in rehearsal, this conversation offers a layered look into character work, direction, and trust.

It’s an honest and playful discussion that reveals just how much life and art can blur on stage.

🎭 A Doll’s House is now playing at The Forst Inn in Tisch Mills, Wisconsin.
