| Synopsis: | Hasse Karlsson is on his way to his mother's death bed. During a break in his journey he tells the story of their long-standing disagreement. It is told from the perspective of a bleak childhood landscape where two boys, Hasse and Svalan meet on the doorstep to another world - and how they practice being adults. To be grown up, is, according to Svalan, to expose the deserving to terror and revenge. Hasse reluctantly becomes ensnared by Svalan's thoughts and is guided towards crimes he does not want to commit. | |||||

| Notes: | Original Playwright - Jon Fosse | |||||
| Synopsis: | A house, a pier, an ocean. Two men lingering at the edge of the sea. They wait for the woman they can barely recall but will never forget. As forgotten memories and secret desires once more float to the surface, so too does a love story in all its beautiful and heartbreaking forms. Jon Fosse is Europe's most prolific and most performed living playwright. He has been likened to 'Ibsen for a new generation and this play is no exception. This is a play of tender precision, a dreamscape, a play stripped down to its emotional essentials, a play for our age and for the people we have become. | |||||
