"Se deg om i mørkets rom. Bilder glitrer, roper kom. Blinker, vinker til behag, Skinne natt, snart kommer dag" (lyrics from Glass i palass, directly translated: "Look around in the dark room. Images glitter, crying come. Blinking, waving, for the fun, shine night, soon day will come").
Glass i palass is supported by Arts Council Norway, the county of Hedmark, The Norwegian Actors’ Equity Association’s fund for freelancers. Among other places it has been performed in the Glitterbird festival in Kristiansand, in the cultural market in Molde and The Market for Performing Arts in Sandefjord and in the university colleges of Hedmark and Vestfold.

Lise Cathrine Pedersen in Hamar Arbeiderblad, December 09 2002:
"Karen Høie and Svein Gundersen wanted, as part of the project Glitterbird, make a theatre production for the very youngest. They have succeeded in Glass i palass. Karen Høie has written the script of the play, playing the role of Grandma and is the puppeteer behind the puppet Pia. All the time Grandma and the man in the moon, Mister Mohn, approach the young audience. Henrik Høie has the role of Mister Mohn. He impresses with his playing on water glasses. The dialogue rhymes, and the text is simple. A lot is also told through song. It is child-friendly and the children sit quietly all the time."
Silje Marie Lien in Hamar Dagblad, December 09 2002:
" Glass i palass is a good and succeeding attempt at showing that entertainment for children is more than yippee and yay. (...) There is no doubt about the fact that the performance satisfied the tastes even of toddlers down to three years of age. In 25 minutes they had something beautiful to watch and something beautiful to listen to."
