Press coverage

Unknown author, 20 September 1974, Dagbladet [Oslo]:
“Something completely new, fun and exciting is rolling into town these days: Hønseføtter, Gulerøtter – Det Glade Teater. Rolling, because the cheerful little troupe, made up of four preschool teachers, does not perform its play on a permanent stage, but travels around performing for children wherever the children are. The main character in the play is the all-knowing box, a curious contraption that Stein suddenly receives one day from his Uncle Victor in America. Uncle Victor surely meant well with the present, but if only he had known what was going to happen.”
