Press coverage

Ellen Pollestad, date unknown, Nordlys [Tromsø]:
"Penetrating, intense - reflecting vulnerability. The Arctic Theatre has created a fine and finely tuned study on the serious theme anorexia. The opening of Match made a strong impression. (...) The lump in the throat and the tears in the eye weren't far off. Moving. Expressively strong and poetic at the same time. Important!"
