At the webpage of The National Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Kjente jeg deg* (Did I know you?):

"Inspired by this fabulous universe after experiencing the celebration of Rolf Jacobsen in Hamar in 2013, actress Wenche Medbøe returned home to Oslo. The idea to create something more, to put the poet and his life on the theatre stage, was born.

In the production, Toralv Maurstad gives voice to the poet Rolf Jacobsen, and Wenche Medbøe narrates the story with him. Together they approaches the modernist Rolf Jacobsen's life and poetry, his political involvement, the war and his transition to Nazism. The strong love between Jacobsen and his wife Petra is central. The inspiration for the production was found in Rolf Jacobsen's many poems and notebooks, letters and biographies about the poet. Blues guitarist Amund Maarud takes part as a singer and guitarist onstage, and has, in collaboration with Kim Edvard Bergseth, set music to the performance."
