In the nomination text, The Hedda Jury described Hamlets pappa er et spøkelse* (Hamlet's daddy is a ghost) as follows:

"Hamlet's daddy is dead, and Hamlet is angry and sad. He misses his daddy, and he doesn't think that anyone understands him. Hamlet wants an explanation, a reason, and preferably also someone to blame. Martin Rosengardten has used Shakespeare's play as the underlying material for a chamber performance with two actors. Jonas Delerud and Elisabet Topp play Hamlet and Ofelia, and with the aid of puppets, teddy bears and other play figurines, they convey the story of Hamlet and his family."
