Beyond Nora - new Exeter writing at Exeter Northcott
Exeter Northcott is presenting Beyond Nora, an evening of script-in-hand performances of three brand new plays by Exeter playwrights, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January at.730pm.
The three plays are inspired by Exeter Northcott’s critically-acclaimed September 2009 production, A Doll’s House. During that run, director Rebecca Manson Jones and dramaturg Sarah Dickenson led a group of emerging playwrights in workshops based on Ibsen’s masterpiece. The writers were challenged to create half hour contemporary interpretations of A Doll’s House, using the themes, characters and structure of the original, as well as prompts from current affairs.
Each writer offers an imaginative new vision. Kim Komljanec’s Incarceration begins as a young mother shouts to the baby’s father over the walls of Exeter prison. In Fitting End, Christine Roberts takes the character of Emmy from Ibsen’s original, and looks at her life 20 years later in the run up to her wedding. Hannah Mulder’s poignant Where the Light Comes Through the Trees, set in the empty offices of an international business, explores two women’s experience of motherhood.
Following the success of Trading Local, which saw plays by local writers performed in shops in Exeter city centre, Beyond Nora furthers Exeter Northcott’s commitment to promoting new writing made in Devon - local subjects, global themes.
A post-show discussion will follow the performances on both Saturday and Sunday.
Tickets cost £8 to £12, with concessions half price, and are available from the Box Office on 01392 493493 or online here.
