Savannah State University will perform the 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 performance 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 immediately 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 experience 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 culture with a lavishly furnished set complete with beautifully ornate costumes and Christmas décor. This seasonal delight will be a sight to be seen just in time for the upcoming holidays. This is the second production of the 2008-2009 theatrical season at Savannah State University. Upcoming productions include Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage, and Pericles by William Shakespeare.
