At the website of Trøndelag Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Hamlet:
"Hamlet returns home to a wedding as well as a funeral. His father is dead and his mother is to remarry, with the murderer. In a world filled with masks and blinding illusions Hamlet wants to revenge his father, the king of Denmark. It turns out to be a difficult mission for him, because he, too, will have to kill.
The classic above all classics, the play above all plays; Hamlet is one of the most performed plays in the world. Our fascination with Shakespeare's existential deep-going drama about revenge, love and power never stops.
The team to stage Hamlet at Trøndelag Theatre is a star team. Runar Hodne is the director, and the stage design and costumes are by Serge von Arx. The two are well known to our audience after their collaboration in the success Death of a Salesman. This time, too, they bring along the German lighting designer Andreas Fuchs. Last year's winner of the music award Spellemannprisen in the composer category, Lars Petter Hagen, writes the music.
Part of the intention of director Runar Hodne is to steer clear of existing complex interpretations of the text. Perhaps will it then become easier to reveal the core of Shakespeare's tragedy. In other words, this is a unique opportunity to see one of world literature's great classic, in an artistic wrapping there are good reasons to feel expectations to."

Lillian Bikset, Et spill med ord (literally: A play with words), Dagbladet, September 7 2015:
"Runar Hodne lets the text's own theatricality be the most important tool in his pure-lined Hamlet. The production doesn't seem like 'a mirror up to nature', but a mirror up to tradition, that is, it is a simplified, stylised version of the Hamlet tradition. This is a production in which words tell the action and the action supports the words. (...) Eventually the individual differences between the characters clearer in their presentation of the text: Espen Klouman Høiner provides his words with a near natural flow, like the flow of thoughts, in his more sincere or presumptively persuasive scenes, as opposed to a more affected, artificial tone in the scenes in which he mocks. Renate Reinsve demonstrates how Ophelia's desperation increases through quicker and louder speech."
