In Norway.Today by Imploding Fictions the teenagers Julie and August get to know each other through an internet chat room, and they decide to commit suicide together. They meet by the foot of the Norwegian mountain Prekestolen (Pulpit Rock Mountain), and with their backpacks filled and a video camera to document their last moments, they start to walk up the mountain.

Imploding Fictions' production of Norway.Today was developed with support from Company of Angels in London and The Junction in Cambridge as part of The Young Angels Theatremakers Award Program. The production was performed with a permit from Rosica Colin Ltd.
