Kjersti Botn Sandal won The Hedda Award 2008 in the category of best leading actress for the role of Anna in Carl and Anna at Rogaland Theatre.
The Hedda Jury reasoned as follows:
"This year's young winner already has worked for three theatres, and she is a gifted, versatile actress who takes different challenges in stride. She gets the award for her presentation of a young woman who slowly, almost against her will, rediscovers the femininity and joy of life she had been forced to suppress. She interprets the role quietly, but with trembling intensity, enthrals with her wise use of lines, her telling body language and her full involvement. This is the kind of stage performance it's hard to forget.
The best leading actress award goes to Kjersti Sandal for her moving interpretation of Anna in Carl and Anna by Leonhard Frank at Rogaland Theatre the autumn of 2007."
