It also marked a dramatic i first for American theatre, the first j portrayal on stage of a liberated I woman. ! The drama, which will be ! playing Dec. 5-10 at Longstreet I Theatre, features a heroine named Nora, a woman who goes through a profound metamorphosis. At the [ play's opening, Nora is incessantly domineered by her husband. I THE PLAY'S punch comes when Nora slowly realizes that she is an intelligent woman, and not a I brainless creature bred for the pleasure of her male partner The drama closes when, in the final scene. Nora tells her oafish spouse off and walks out, slamming the door behind her. That slam is now referred to as the "slam heard around the world." because it was the first ft public display of women objecting Iio tneir debasing treatment. Starring as Nora is USC theatre graduate Dana Faust, who played the amorous Southern belle Alma Winemiller earlier this season in > the USC Department of Theatre , and Speech performance of Kc/ centrieities of a Nightingale. - Appearing with Faust will be Jim Mian ion. Hill Parker, Kuth Ann Phimister WerkJey and David Imrie. ' Tickets are on sale from noon I until 5 p.m. on weekdays and can i be purchased at the I^ongstreet Theatre box office.
