A "dull" house!

Last week I went to Betty Nansen Teater to see Nora, a Danish version of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. What struck me - and my friend, Jens - before the show began was that almost all the spectators were as old as Ibsen! We were just thinking that "sure these people knew Henrik in person, perhaps when he was a kid!"

No wonder that anywhere I go to talk to people about my Ibsen project they say that they "rather have something modern!" And of course I am having a hard time, explaining that "it couldn’t get more modern that Henrik Ibsen." I just wonder if anyone in Scandinavia has ever read Ibsen. (The director of Nora couldn't seem so.)
