Nora on Nov 20-22, 2008 at
8:00 p.m. and Nov 23, at 3:00
p.m. in Kennedy Theatre on
SSU campus. The perform
ance is sponsored by Savannah
State University; tickets are
$10 general admission and $5
for students/faculty.
Nora is Ingmar
Bergman’s retelling of the
Ibsen’s classic A Doll’s House.
Nora played by Parris Sarter, is
an impulsive and materialistic
woman inexperienced in the
ways of the world. She has
never lived alone, going imme
diately from the care of her
father to that of her husband.
By the end of the play she
emerges as an independent
woman.
Director and designer
David I. L. Poole is thrilled to
be bringing this production to
life. “It is an exciting experi
ence for the whole cast. We are
dissecting the play as if we are
archeologists, and with an all
African- American cast to this
traditionally Norwegian play
shows how universal the plays
themes and story are to all
audiences.” says Poole.
Beckoned as the play that was
the “door slam heard across the
world” Nora’s journey into
becoming a free thinking
woman is as inspiring today as
it was in the 1890’s. As also the
designer Poole has brought to
life the world of Victorian cul
ture with a lavishly furnished
set complete with beautifully
ornate costumes and Christmas
decor. This seasonal delight
will be a sight to be seen just in
time for the upcoming holi
days. This is the second pro
duction of the 2008-2009 the
atrical season at Savannah
State University. Upcoming
productions include Blues for
an Alabama Sky by Pearl
Cleage, and Pericles by
William Shakespeare.
