Mrs. Minister
Life suddenly changes for Živka Popović, a simple, but strong woman in pre-World War II Yugoslavia, when her husband becomes a minister. Being absurdly unaware of her lack of manners, education, and most of all, lack of knowledge of what ministers’ wives are supposed to do, she goes a long way to blindly follow social “rules” for ministers’ wives. In the process she rearranges her life and the life of her family, with comedic, chaotic and unexpected results.
The Serbian Theater Mira Sremčević at the Serbian Cultural and Arts Center St. Sava is proud to present the premiere of Mrs. Minister written by Branislav Nušić on Saturday, March 29, 2008, at 8PM.
Tickets cost $20.
The last performance of the play is scheduled for Sunday, March 30 at 7 PM
To reserve tickets, call (773) 549-9690 and leave a message with your name, number of tickets, date of the showing you wish to attend, and the telephone number where you can be reached.
This performance is of great importance to our theater because it involves the largest number of actors, and is also our longest performance so far. The play has four acts, and will be two hours long, with an intermission after the second act. The premiere is scheduled as a part of the opening of the newly-renovated theater, which will have four levels of seats and enable an excellent view of the stage.
