About Det Norske Teatret
Det Norske Teatret (the Norwegian Theatre) is a theatre in Oslo founded in 1912 on the initiative of Hulda Garborg and Edvard Drabløs. It opened in 1913 by touring with Ivar Aasen's Ervingen and Hulda Garborg's Rationelt Fjøsstell, and its first official performance, Ludvig Holberg's comedy Jeppe på berget, was attended by King Haakon VII and the prime minister. The theatre performs mainly plays written in or translated into Nynorsk, on three stages with about 12–15 productions a year, and five of Jon Fosse's plays had their first productions here.
