DNS owns, okay?

I'm getting right into Norwegian theatre. It's actually quite cheap to go here (only a couple quid more expensive than going to the cinema), and they always have quite a lot going on. I've started picking out actors that I like and checking out other shows they're in. It's quite sweet really because you do find that the same people come up again and again - it's like some sort of weird theatre family.

Tomorrow I'm going to see a piece called Dyrene i Hakkebakkeskogen, which is based on an old children's story and should be good fun. It's possibly kind of aimed at a younger audience, but I don't care - a story's a story, and at least I should get most of the Norwegian :)

Promo photo for Dyrene i Hakkebakkeskogen. This is like the cutest photo ever if you've seen Svartediket (and perhaps if you're a girl), because the guy on the left is the same guy who's playing the role of Massken (below) in that. He gets out of one show and runs off to redo his makeup for the next one.

The theatre just released this video of the two actors who are in both pieces, giving us an insight into their days. It's in Norwegian, but it's well cool, and it has some clips from the pieces. Do click the link below:

More footage from Svartediket (including the moment which for me is the most heart-wrenching, at 03:54. Perhaps not that upsetting when viewed out of context, but it ALWAYS makes me cry):
