TIME FOR HAPPINESS is Now Playing at the Royal Dramatic Theatre

A woman has found the perfect plot for her own burial. Now she wants to show it to her adult kids. But only her daughter turns up. Her son seems to be late. At the cemetery they also meet a neighbour, his ex-wife and a party that just lost a family member.

Tid för glädje is a play about new and old relationships, about grief and longing, about having children or not, about fight or flight. It was premiered in Oslo in January 2020, with rave reviews.

Arne Lygre is a Norwegian playwright whose works are produced frequently around the world. He is praised for creating powerful situations through a terse style and well-written dialogue and for discussing life's big questions. French Stéphane Braunschweig, director of Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe in Paris has directed several of Arne Lygre's plays in France to great acclaim and has contributed substantially to Lygre's international success.

Performances run through 12 February.

Hertigen Prospero har landsförvisats tillsammans med sin dotter Miranda. De hamnar på en karibisk ö som är ”obebodd med vissa undantag”, som Prospero uttrycker det. Där stöter de på urinvånaren Caliban och det dröjer inte lång tid innan Prospero lyckas återskapa ett perfekt klassamhälle med endast dessa tre personer.

Germany, late 1920s. The actor Hendrik Höfgen is appreciated by both the audience and his colleagues at the local theater, but he desperately longs for the big break. He knows he is meant for bigger roles, on bigger stages! Like most of his comrades, he is a socialist and they watch with horror as National Socialism grows stronger. It is a changing, creative and violent time.
