he National Theater (Riksteater) announces its spring touring program:

Medmennesker, (Fellow Men) by Olav Dunn—yet another novel (a trilogy actually) adapted for the stage. This time by Otto Homlung and Tine Thomassen: Ragnhild and her husband take over the family farm. However Didrik, Håkon’s father, regrets giving up the farm so early. Conflicts intensify and in the end (which is just the beginning) Ragnhild kills her father-in-law with an ax…

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by the Brothers Grimm. Children’s version.

Pappaer, (The Daddies) by Olof Willgren—A warm-hearted look at the problems of custody. Translated by Kyrre Haugen Bakke.

Mensch! directed by Per Olav Sørensen, whose previous works include ”Sexy”, and “Tater and Dracula”. Teen-age fare.

The Vagina Monologues, by Eve Ensler. Translated by Anne B. Ragde. (Need I describe the popular piece?)

Fanden I Vold, by Karl Sundby. A one-hour cabaret about the Gypsies.

Snakk med meg, Det er så mørkt, (Talk to Me, It’s so Dark) by Niklas Rådström. Terje Mærli has both translated and directed this play about the young, neo-nazi Søren who meets the Jewish doctor Jacob. Intense conversations. This play will also tour Norwegian high schools.

Inger Hagerup. Poems by Inger Hagerup are presented by Sigrun Enge.

The Easter Program. Actor Noralv Teigen has chosen texts on the Easter theme. This kind of performance has been made popular in Norway by actor Svein Tindberg, who has earlier performed both the Gospel According to Mark, and The Apostles’ Deeds.

Locally:

Stavanger’s theatre, Rogaland teater starts up the spring with The Apostles’ Deeds on the main stage. In the black box space is Landscape, by Harold Pinter.

Due to construction (our little theatre of three stages is growing), Theatre is moving to the people. A local, popular bar will host the intimate play by Michael Fayn: Nei takk, begge deler!? And in the Concert Hall in Sandnes a newly dramatized version of Mark Twain’s Begger Princess begins.
