Vestland Lockdown

Vestland Lockdown (2020) was a series of event productions by The National Stage. Vestland Lockdown consisted of six different events, each based on different texts. The events took place in the venue Teaterkjellereren.

June 5, the play Cock by Mike Bartlett was presented.

June 8 and 9, the one-act play Jo mere vi er sammen* (The more we are together) by Monica Isakstuen presented. This one-act play was written especially for Vestland Lockdown.

June 16, The Apology of Socrates by Plato was presented.
