The National Theater in Norway has announced its fall 2020 lineup, including three Ibsen plays, as well as contemporary selections.

Soon, the venerable theater house will close its doors for a rehabilitation period of a full five years. Then the theater must play on other, alternative stages. In the meantime, the theater is offering tours this summer, as well as guided tours for children.
