A beautiful & elegant new play from Norway's greatest contemporary writer, Jon Fosse. Adapted here by British playwright Simon Stephens, this version opened to great acclaim at London's Young Vic theatre.

"[an] outstanding version... This is a high point of the Young Vic's 40th anniversary season."--"The Stage" "Fosse jettisons all the conventional rules of drama... seems like a meditation on language... the play grips because it appeals to something fundamental: it shows two cornered human beings in an extreme situation and demonstrates the power of love. [a] hypnotic production... cryptically haunting" 4 stars Michael Billington--"The Guardian" "[it] exerts a beguiling, hypnotic pull... [the [production is] unusual, extraordinary, weird, and beautiful... must see" 4 stars - Michael Coveney--"whatsonstage.com" "Fosse's subject is the human condition, and this sparsely written play pares down the question of existence to its bare essentials... Chereau's production is a masterclass in minimalism, perfectionism and maybe a dozen other isms. Who cares? It tells Fosse's story wonderfully well... colloquial and poetic. Go on, give it a go!"--"The Arts Desk"
