Entropy

Entropy is a play by Christopher Nielsen. The original title in Norwegian is Entropi.

Entropy is the second play in The Staphylococcus Trilogy.

The play was nominated for The Norwegian Ibsen Award AKA The Ibsen Prize 2013.

The jury said:

"In Christopher Nielsen's Entropy we meet three drug addicts and one therapist in a treatment room. The process the four plan to go through cracks when a fourth drug addict is included in the group. In a luscious, surplus-filled and energetic language the playwright pokes fun with the well-meaning therapist society, and creates a number of absurd situations illuminating the chaos/entropy of human life. Nielsen aims to treat large themes in an unpretentious manner, without removing the danger. This way his dramas make their mark as a contribution to public debate and thus they also represent a suggestion for contemporary political theatre anno 2012. That is a rare thing."
