Reality Crumbles But A Plot Emerges: Jon Fosse's STRONG WIND Premieres at Scena Theatre

- Nov 6, 2023
Scena Theatre productions are never mere theatrical comfort food; they generally have classical or European roots and, whether comic or tragic, they are always intellectually serious affairs, out to show us or make us think about interesting matters. And this show is no exception.

There were also moments when pacing, language, and the play's inherent incomprehensibility made engaging with Fosse's work difficult.
