Elling, Paperback / softback Book

Elling Paperback / softback

Part of the Oberon Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

Based on the novel by Ingvar Ambjornsen, in original stage adaptation by Axel Hellstenius in collaboration with Peter Naess, in a new version by Simon Bent.

Mummy's boy Elling and his roommate, the uncouth, reluctant virgin Kjell Bjarne, are the Odd Couple of Oslo: a pair of confused souls taking their first steps in the outside world after years of isolated, institutional life.

Given a flat in the city by social services, they must re-assimilate themselves into society or face a return to the asylum.

So it's simply a question of convincing their social worker that they really are 'normal' - even if it does feel safer sleeping in the wardrobe... Based on the award-winning cult film, Elling was first performed at the Bush Theatre in 2007 and transferred to Trafalgar Studios in the West End.
