Press coverage

Lillian Bikset, review called Falskspill (literally: False play), Dagbladet, 19.02.2012, http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/02/19/kultur/scene/sceneanmeldelse/anmeldelser/halogaland_teater/20296393/:

"The character gallery in The Arctic Theatre's Hamlet is kept consciously stiff, without personality. Only one person is different, lonely in his sincerity: Hamlet himself, played by Frank Kjosås using a range of expressions from the downplayed to the hysterical. The shift takes place when he decides to play mad to reveal the lies of the others. From then on and out The Arctic Theatre's Hamlet is altogether a play about false play. The main theme, alienated superficiality, is honoured and cultivated."
