Andersens

Andersens (1940) was a theatre production by Trøndelag Theatre, based on a play by Johan Borgen.

Ellen Isefiær directed it.

Eugen Skjønberg and Bonne Gauguin played the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Andersen.

Andersens opened April 3, 1940, and was only performed six times before the theatre closed due to the German invasion of Norway, April 9, 1940. The theatre reopened May 21, 1940, at the time with the production Co-optimistenes kabaret-revy* (The co-optimists' cabaret revue).
