Shortshanks
Turnékompaniet has produced Shortshanks based on the story the artists think of as one of the more difficult fairytales of Asbjørnsen and Moe. Shortshanks is presented the way of a rarity cabinet, but it keeps breaking from the expected.

More
The title character of Shortshanks is an Ash Lad-like character, but in the version of Turnékompaniet the fairytale has its surprises. The role gallery is relatively expansive and at times the audience members have to step into various supporting roles, and at other times, the artists will need assistance from a sympathetic audience.
