Mar. 30th, 2008 09:58 pmJust came back from seeing the play "An Enemy of the People".
Dude. Mindblowing stuff. Not least the performances, which were brilliant, but the script itself. Henrik Ibsen is my new favourite playwrite, replacing Oscar Wilde. It was well adapted too, although after reading the Wikipedia article, I was disappointed that some really great lines had been edited out. But then, I guess very few people in a current generation Sri Lankan audience can appreciate references to Methusaleh.
Apparently, the Norwegian Literay something something paid for the entire production twoce over as part of their celebrations commemorating something. Can't remember, but Ibsen was mentioned. Yes, I am very informative and precise tonight.
My point is that the Norwegians get my vote tonight.
In other news, I am sick. This accounts for the lack of any degree of coherency in this post. Shall crash now and stay dead to typos.
ETA: 'Tis the Norwegian Embassy who funded the production to commemorate the 102nd anniversary of Ibsen's death. Yay, for trufax!
