At the webpage of Grenland Friteater the following, among other things, is written about A Trip to Venice:

"Next to Bjørg Vik there once lived a lovable old couple. Once when she knocked on their door she was met by a fully dressed Sverre, and when she asked where they were to go he answered that they were already on their way. Right now, they were far into the mountains of Rondane.

For the recently started Intimteatret Bjørg Vik in 1992** wrote A Trip to Venice, which was strongly inspired by this couple's world-traversing journeys in their own living room. For that she received The Norwegian Ibsen Award in 1993**."
