Allan’s criminal father is dead. It is finally time to see his mother again and reconcile the family. However, Allan is somehow distressed. The eagerly awaited death of his father seems suspicious, and clues suggest that his father might have actually cared about him. At the Royal Theatre’s premiere, Danish actress Ghita Nørby was the centre of suspicion and lust in this award winning drama. This play describes our battle with fate and our irresistible need to feel loved with both humour and horror. The play is based on Erling Jepsen’s bestselling novel which is the forerunner of the Oscar nominated film KUNSTEN AT GRÆDE I KOR (The Art of Crying in Chorus).
