Description
The latest play collection from Nobel Prize-winning playwright Jon Fosse including six plays published in English for the first time.
Strong Wind is a play about time, love, jealousy, fear of heights, and the urge for death, almost as in a bad dream. It is unmistakably a Fosse play, but at the same time is new and different, more reflective, containing within it an almost twisted truth.
Inside the Black Forest follows a younger man is bored and decides to go out for a drive. He drives and drives, and he ends up on an isolated forest road –where he gets stuck. The young man gets it into his head that he'll go into the dark forest to look for help.
In Everyman, we encounter a haunting loneliness, a longing for companionship, and sorrow over not being able to reach those we are closest to-our immediate family.
As it Was is a monologue about ageing, life, and death. As always, Jon Fosse writes about everyday life, but also about the bigger questions. The play is about the decrepit body and ageing, time and memories, life and death.
Play The Game, originally commissioned as an audio play, a child wants to get the adult to play a game with constantly changing rules.
The Play, a brand new work not yet published in Norway.
