At the website of The National Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Morning and Evening:

"Jon Fosse's critically acclaimed novel Morning and Evening is about Johannes. About his birth, life and death - a tour of how it is to be an individual on earth. We step into the world of Johannes the way he did it, through his birth and the moment he is released from his mother. In his entrance to life - morning - and exit - evening - we meet the experiences and reflections a person has regarding life and death. For this is a performance about the great universal themes, about faith, doubt, friendship, loneliness, longing, fear and love.

Actress Anne Marit Jacobsen carries a strong love to Jon Fosse's literature - and this love now brings the novel to the stage. The direction is by Fosse's fellow villager Hildegun Riise. Jacobsen and Riise approach Fosse's poetic landscape in dialogue with newly composed music by fiddler Benedicte Maurseth. Morning and Evening is one of Anne Marit Jacobsen's many monologue performances at The National Theatre, performances that have delighted critics as well as audiences.

From great literature one learns how to die, not to live, Jon Fosse has stated. And from Morning and Evening we may do both. The novel got great reviews when it was published in 2000. It was selected among the 25 best Norwegian novels from the past 25 years and was nominated for Nordic Council's Literature Prize."
