At first glance, there
is little to love about C. Denby Swanson’s comedy “The Norwegians.” But rising out of its numbing simplicity like a Phoenix – a
very, very funny Phoenix – is an absolutely brilliant piece of storytelling.

“The Norwegians” is the kind of script that
some will like, some will dislike.
It gets a better production at Dobama than the material probably
deserves.

Don’t let the phrase “bitter comedy” scare you
away. The show is sprinkled throughout
with wonderful examples of dry humor and upper mid-west colloquialisms which
are a joy to discover and laugh at even after the moment has passed. The production does not let the grim subject
matter get in the way of the comedy.
This is a good one to catch. Uff Da, You Betcha!

"The Norwegians" begins to wear thin as the minutes tick by. . . .When a woman up-ending her bag and rifling in its conttents is a show's most thigh-slapping moment--Oofta!
