Utoya

<p><i>I've got goosebumps. One of us. It's horrendous.</i> <p/>July 2011. A far-right terrorist has just massacred sixty-nine people most of them students attending a Norwegian Labour Party Youth's summer camp on the island of Utoya. <p/>Gunnar and Malin have sent their daughter to the island and desperately seek contact. On the farm next-door to the perpetrator's Petter and Inga realise their suspicions about him are well-founded. At Central Command Alf and Unni must decide on the best course of action in response to the attack. <p/>A searing reflection on the domestic effects of societal trauma Edoardo Erba's <i>Utoya</i> offers a timely reminder of the threat of far-right extremism inviting us to consider how tragedy can both bind people together and pull them further apart. <p/>This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at London's Arcola Theatre in August 2024.</p>
