To Us from Our Elders went straight to No. 1 on the fiction bestseller list when published and, like the first two books in the series, is the perfect basis for the stage.
Linn Skåber’s first play based on the book Being Young has enjoyed success both in Norway (nominated for the Hedda Award) and Denmark (winner of the Reumert Award).
In her third book, she has interviewed, observed, analyzed and written. As always, the prose is filled with warmth, humor, wisdom, sorrow and joy. Skåber’s unique pen make these people come alive, and their lives are made clear and recognizable to us. And perhaps there is something to learn for us all.
Since the book is made up of a number of monologues, theaters can pick and choose different ones to make their performance unique.
