Nora is one of Bergman's few stage scripts, and this one rewrites Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, reducing it to its bare essentials. This weekend's drama explores how people behave in the face of evil and misfortune, yet it also allows such villains as Krogstad to appear more appealing than in the original version. Nora promises to provide an intense evening of entertainment; there is no intermission in this production. Bergman's play, directed by junior Heather Cross, runs this weekend only at the Loeb Experimental Theater...
What is the cheapest way to get 6,000 concrete blocks and 4,600 bags of cement to a remote Eskimo village? Answer: mail them. Sam Krogstad, a construction supplier in Anchorage, is sending the individually addressed blocks (postage: $4.33 each) and bags ($4.27) about 700 miles north to Wainwright, where they will be used to build a small harbor on the Arctic Ocean. Krogstad's bill for stamps will be about $45,000, less than what other shippers would charge...

Jonathan Spalter makes Barnstrom--again, an unnecessary Americanization from Krogstad--a hilarious cardboard villain, right out of The Perils of Pauline.

As Kristine, his long lost love, Kim Bendheim seems vaguely robotized. Their climactic scene together is a wet firecracker...
...they lived unhappily ever after. It was psychoanalysts for both and not a laugh in between. "The Rockefellers are not funloving," recalls Anne-Marie, who divorced Steven in 1970. "Their idea of a good time is a serious discussion." Now 36 and divorced from her second husband, Businessman Robert Krogstad, Anne-Marie lives with her three Rockefeller children in New York's Westchester County. She has become tough-minded about her ten-year sojourn among one of the country's richest families. Said she last week: "Steven wanted a simple country girl and found himself with someone more...
