A play about an invented meeting between the Danish communist, Axel Larsen; a nurse, Elna Hiort-Lorenzen (who’s husband, Arne Munch-Petersen, disappeared in Moscow in 1937); and a young man, Henry. The meeting takes place during an evening in 1958 after Axel Larsen has been expelled from the Communist Party. It is a play about dreams, politics and treason both among human beings and within the party. It premiered at Privatteatret in Denmark, and has been translated into English and German.
