“What I look for every time is a way in which the director, the designers, and the actress playing Nora can convince me that a real person could and would act this way with sincerity rather than as a scene to play out. I found that in Writers Theatre’s recent production. The new one at Raven Theatre, directed by Lauren Shouse, does an excellent job of showing Nora’s increasing panic, especially in the powerful—and dramatic—tarantella scene. Here, unlike many other Noras I have seen, Amira Danan invests so much of her soul into this dance and plays it with such pain—based on the recognition that this moment is basically prolonging Torvald’s discovery of her deception—that the moment feels absolutely right in all of its conflicting emotional narratives.”

“As is often the case with a show containing a cast this extensive, playing such a swath of characters, it’s impossible to succinctly give everyone credit where it’s due. Yet it would be remiss not to mention the effervescent Jon Hudson Odom as Bob Cratchit, Amira Danan as a gentle and loving Frida, or the utterly adorable Ella Boparai as Tiny Tim. While this entire cast is remarkable, these three are scene stealers time after time."

“Danan is a delight as the winsome Meg, the self-defined “pretty” sister. Although the radiant Meg knows she’s attractive, the character never seems arrogant in Danan’s skilled hands. She makes Meg a likable young woman with feigned confidence that disappears in the presence of her suitor.” - St. Louis Theatre Circle

“No newcomer to the Chicago theatre scene, lovely and talented Amira Danan portrays Nora with playfulness, power and a good deal of passion. Seen at the Goodman in “Bernhardt/Hamlet” and at Windy City Theatre in “Southern Gothic,” Ms. Danan is the true star of this play, as well she should be. One of this actress’ assets is her beautifully expressive face, which often speaks louder than her words. When, near the end of the play, Nora finally finds her own voice with her husband, Ms. Danan makes an interesting acting choice: she becomes quieter and more cerebral. This actress is a songbird who sings with spirit.”
