Includes the plays Someone is Going to Come, The Guitar Man, The Name
and The Child In Someone is Going to Come the two of them want to be
together, just the two of them, so they leave the city and buy a
remote house by the sea. But is it possible to do what they want to
do? Won't somebody come? Surely someone will come. The Guitar Man is a
poignant monologue in which a busker sings songs to an audience that
is always on the move, always passing him by. The Name (winner of the
Ibsen Prize in Norway) tells the story of an estranged family forced
to live under one roof. When a pregnant girl and the father of the
child have nowhere to live, they move into her parents' house. But the
parents have never met the father-to-be, and don't yet know about the
pregnancy. In The Child a man and a woman find each other in a bus
stop on a rainy night. They hold each other close. They rent an old
house out of town. The woman becomes pregnant. But the child is too
small to survive. In these four varied plays Jon Fosse's unique
linguistic style, at once poetic and naturalistic, magnifies the love
and pain of ordinary people seeking to live their lives. Cast sizes:
