Troll by Marie Kallevik Straume & Anna Marie Simonsen
Troll is an “irresistibly silly” (★★★★ The Guardian) two-troll clown comedy about connection, scape(goat)ing and being misunderstood. Fed up with years of misrepresentation, villainization and exclusion, two trolls find themselves at Jacksons Lane, ready and desperate to tell their side of the story and the truth about those three goats.
Inspired by Norwegian folklore, Troll is a critically-acclaimed comedy and heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, audience interaction, physical theatre and clown.
