Press coverage

Lillian Bikset, Upolert messing (literally: Unpolished brass), Dagbladet November 7 2015:

"The vulnerability Jerry (Finn Arve Sørbøe), Dave (Jardar Johansen), Harold (Svein Harry Schöttker Hauge), Malcolm (Lars Henrik Aarnes), Horse (Marvin Amoroso) and Ethan (Espen Mauno) carry with them, is far from exclusively connected to body pressure and body images. It is also about mourning one's unemployment, economic worries, and the feeling of not being able to use oneself as one wants and thus not be the man one wants to be. When this vulnerability is underplayed, the humour is also weakened. It doesn't become as liberating, but rather cheap. In The Arctic Theatre's interpretation this vulnerability is underplayed."
