About the Show
no script - just like love
«When They Met» is an improvised long form romantic comedy, in which the players pan through the ups and downs of a love story presented only once. The show is heartwarming, funny and bring tears as well as laughter. A dash of Love Actually and a bit Woody Allen is seamlessly combined in this original Det Andre Teatret format. Based on a short conversation with the audience a one act play is performed by four of the players from the Norwegian theatre company. The show has played in several european festivals and theatres, and comes directly from touring both San-Fransisco and Los Angeles.
