1m agoKan hende jeg skal plukke opp igjen mitt Trymskvida-inspirerte forsøk på å dramatisere fortellinga om Utgards-Loke om ikke så alt for lenge..? Trenger ei barnegruppe med litt erfaring og tæl. Det er et krevende stykke og av ulike grunner har jeg aldri egentlig kommet helt i mål med en produksjon.. et forsøk ble f.eks. ødelagt av norovirus :/.
