Teater Grimsborken’s version of The Enormous Crocodile is adapted for theatre by Peder Opstad after the book by Roald Dahl.
The book is translated to Norwegian by Tor Edvin Dahl and published by Gyldendal. In the production the enormous crocodile is hungry! On his way through the jungle he meets Fjodor the hippo, the monkey Knaskesmatt and Trunky the elephant. They all have other plans than him. The Enormous Crocodile is a theatre performance for those who like crocodiles, rock & air guitars.
The Enormous Crocodile was supported by The Norwegian Actors’ Equity Association’s fund for freelancers.
