Peer, du lyver!* (Peer, you're lying) with text by Toril Solvang, directed by Jakob Höglund, The Norwegian Touring Theatre, was nominated for The Hedda Award 2015 in the best production for children and youth category.
Solvang adapted Endre Lund Eriksen's book The Summer Dad Turned Gay for Hålogaland Theatre. The production received The Hedda Award 2016 in the best production for children and youth category.
The Hedda Jury gave the following reason:
"This year's best production for children and youth is at one and the same time a humorous, absurd, burlesque, sensible, warm and slightly embarrassing story about the difficult puberty. In addition, it is liberatingly disarming about themes that are still taboo, such as sexuality, divorce issues and homophobia. One rarely sees a production in which everything is told from the youth's perspective, direct, undisguised, playful and in an unusually rich language without seeming affected. This was real."
