– I’m going to swear in church. And play 23 roles. The theater director and I hope that men in uniform will arrest us. Welcome to Teater Bislett! shouts Terje Strømdahl.
Despite the premises: the theater is not religious. Before all performances, the altar is removed, explains Terje Strømdahl, here at a spontaneous rehearsal in Vestre Frikirke. Teater Bislett opens on Wednesday evening, 8 November. Photo: Jan T. Espedal

Together with die say, as we say on the eastern edge. I play them both. And over 20 more roles. Teater Bislett opens with a very varied text, by Dario Fo.
