At the webpage of Nordland Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Shakespeare og ondskapen* (Shakespeare and evil):

"Shakespeare og ondskapen deals with seven of Shakespeare's familiar characters, labelled as evil, and lets us delight in lust, greed, power and desire seen through their eyes. The production provides insight into the dark corner of the human soul, and it shows us how the aesthetics of evil brings forth darkness within people, even ourselves.

Shakespeare og ondskapen is the second production in the series where external effects such as stage design and props are limited, and the actors and the text get the spotlight. The audience doesn't need to have heard of or read about Shakespeare or his characters prior to seeing the production, to be able to enjoy it."
