Jessica will portray Nora Helmer in A Doll’s House, an upcoming modernized take on the groundbreaking play from scribe Amy Herzog, with direction by Jamie Lloyd.

When the play first premiered in 1879, it was told through the lens of a power and gender-imbalanced relationship, the three-act play explores one man’s complete domination over the life of his wife and the repercussions when she attempts to, in support of him, exert a modicum of autonomy.

FYI: Jessica‘s custom tee from Mr. Saturday had Mahsa Amini‘s name all over it. Mahsa was an Iranian woman who was arrested by The Guidance Patrol, the religious morality police of Iran’s government, for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. She later died under suspicious circumstances in September.
