The Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Norwegian Plays

'If the essence of drama is conflict, the crossing of wills, of culture versus barbarism, the Norwegians have a natural spring to tap into - and it is explosive' ~ Line Rosvoll, Artistic Director of the Norwegian Centre of New Playwriting, from her Introduction

The Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Norwegian Plays brings together a selection of exciting playwrights reflecting the breadth and vitality of Norwegian theatre's booming new writing scene

Six plays, translated by Neil Howard and published for the first time in English, demonstrate a common willingness to push formal boundaries and to find new ways to tackle the universal experiences of the human condition - grief and loss, violence, manipulation, abuse and despair

The plays in the Anthology are ...

Grief Work by Eirik Fauske

Kinder K by Kristofer Grønskag

A Remarkable Person by Pernille Dahl Johnsen

Time Without Books by Lene Therese Teigen

Why Not Before by Liv Heløe

Watching Shadows by Hans Petter Blad
