Being Norwegian
2026 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Aug. 23, 2026, 4:16 a.m.

A solid performance by an authentic 2-actor cast. You definitely feel the yearning and the loneliness of the characters, and the subtle longing of the strangers is a nice palate cleanser for the typical Fringe piece. It's an interesting selection of this overseas play, and while the script seems a little flat, perhaps that's just the writing "being Norwegian".

The actors make this play worthwhile, and it'll be interesting to see how they remount this at the Varscona. A Fringe recommend.
