Production: LEAGUE OF YOUTH (De unges forbund) 

by Henrik Ibsen 

Year: 2009 

Place: Norwegian Theatre Academy, Fredrikstad, Norway  

Old Master Ibsen was never famous for his sense of humour.
That’s partly why we have chosen his only (and rather unappreciated) comedy to play with. An unfunny comedy. Sounds funny, actually. Maybe it isn’t really a comedy at all. Maybe it is something else, and equally interesting. Maybe not. Anyway, in our hearts there’s always a soft spot for the underdog with a cool name. The League of Youth – that’s a cool name. We’ll have that, please. Never mind that we haven’t even read the play. We are united in ignorance. Ignorance unites us. Free your mind and your art will follow. Hey, sounds like we’ve already started dreaming up slogans for a new political party. You’ll hear from us soon. The League of Youth – that’s us.
