In the spring program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2000 the following is written about the production Speak Bitterness by Forced Entertainment:
"With Speak Bitterness, Forced Entertainment focuses on the confession in a society where it is made tabloid by newspapers and converted to grotesque afternoon fun in TV chat shows. Seven persons read serious and trivial confessions with expressions ranging from embarrassed guilt to indifference. Described as "..clever funny, mind-blending and profoundly humane" the production has reached an international audience since 1994, harvesting enthusiastic reviews as well as awards."
