Críticas:

"""Elling is quirky and really one of a kind... If ever a play was destined for success, Elling is it"" - British Theatre Guide ""very, very funny. Thoroughly life-affirming"" - The Times ""The most blissfully funny and touching evening I've had in the theatre for ages."" - Guardian"

Reseña del editor:

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.
