During the trial against Anders Behring Breivik the playwright Maria Tryti Vennerød wrote literary texts, reflecting on the Norwegian situation. Every Thursday at 04.00 PM directors and actors from Dramatikkens Hus performed the texts in Cappelen Damm's bookstore called Halvbroren. The purpose was "for the sake of contemporary interest, to find new ways in meeting and involving new groups of audiences".

The first reading took place April 26 and the last June 22. Maria Tryti Vennerød personally read some of her texts, but they were also read by actors, including Gjertrud Jynge and Kirsti Stubø.
