NEW YORK — Oscar winner Jessica Chastain’s return to Broadway will breathe new life into an old classic.
The acclaimed actress, known for film roles such as “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” “The Help” and “Zero Dark Thirty,” will star in Jamie Lloyd’s upcoming revival of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 drama “A Doll’s House,” it was announced Wednesday.
The three-act play about Norwegian housewife Nora Helmer — who leaves her overbearing husband and family — will be modernized by Pulitzer Prize finalist Amy Herzog.
