But is it possible to do what they want to do? Won't somebody come? Surely someone will come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guitar Man is a poignant monologue in which a busker sings songs to an audience that is always on the move, always passing him by.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Name (winner of the Ibsen Prize in Norway) tells the story of an estranged family forced to live under one roof. When a pregnant girl and the father of the child have nowhere to live, they move into her parents' house. But the parents have never met the father-to-be, and don't yet know about the pregnancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Child a man and a woman find each other in a bus stop on a rainy night. They hold each other close. They rent an old house out of town. The woman becomes pregnant. But the child is too small to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn these four varied plays Jon Fosse's unique linguistic style, at once poetic and naturalistic, magnifies the love and pain of ordinary people seeking to live their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast sizes: 3,6,1,6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJon Fosse\u003c\/b\u003e is the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2023.
