The Play - a brand new text by Nobel Prize winner Jon Fosse is ready for the stage during The International Fosse Festival! This text is quite different from many of the other pieces Jon Fosse has written, and breaks with both expectations and clichés.

An adult and a younger couple are standing on the dock waiting for a boat. They don't know when the boat will arrive, they only know that it will come, and that they have tickets for the ride. They wait. But they haven't waited long before a small troupe of actors unexpectedly appears.

The actors offer a play to shorten the wait. And the waiting people say yes. Because no one can enter this boat without first seeing the actors perform The Play.

Strong artistic duo

This is the second time that director Johannes Holmen Dahl and set designer Nia Damerell have staged a text by Jon Fosse at Det Norske Teatret. The last was Sterk vind/Strong Wind, which received fantastic reviews. There are great expectations for a new piece from the author's hand, so it is with awe that the two set to work.
