At the website of The National Stage the following, among other things, is written about The Year of Magical Thinking:

"The Year of Magical Thinking brings us into the ruthlessness of mourning, but is most of all about survival. With mildness, humour and a down-to-earth, sober tone, we are invited along a journey in human resources and the heart's ability to heal.

(…)

The Year of Magical Thinking will be Skaanes' farewell with The National Stage for now, after all of 48 years as an actor at the theatre, having reached the age of retirement."
