In the spring program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2000 the following is written about Disco Relax by Forced Entertainment:

"In its most recent, Disco Relax, the company makes what they call a belly flop into the pond of fictional soap series, drinking stories and intimate conversation. The whole think is wrapped in a barbarian, surreal scenario of a pub disco. Glossy TV soaps work as a contrast to life onstage, but find its function among disco lights and pub music and gives the cocktail potency to stretch outside of the dramatic frames.

Forced Entertainment is supported by Arts Council of England, Yorkshire Arts and Sheffield City Council. Norwegian support is from Bergen, capital of culture 2000, and the visiting performance system of Norwegian Culture Fund."
