2014 – The Involuntary Actor
Script
Teater Carpa
Premiere 2014 in Stockholm.
The theater’s janitor is still on stage when the curtain rises. He tries to quietly leave, but doesn’t make it in time before the evening’s performance begins and the actors rush in. They don’t seem to realize that he’s just a janitor and nothing more, and he is swept along into the world of the play.
Frågan är bara om han någonsin kommer ut?
"It’s an exciting idea that the playwright invites us into."
