Inspector Norse 2013

A self-assembly Swedish crime thriller

The sight of two moose weeping while watching Bambi will stay with me for a long time

East Anglian Times

It really is quite some time since one has seen a theatre audience enjoy such total participation in every aspect of a show

Public Review

Rather cheekily and without asking permission, we snuck into the Ashton branch of IKEA and filmed the opening sequence to Inspector Norse. Later that year after a run of the show at The Lowry in Salford, two IKEA personnel came to stage door to speak to us. We thought we were in deep trouble. But they had loved the show and wanted to book it to be performed in the IKEA restaurant! We did have talks for a while but when it emerged that people would be wandering around the performance area with their Billy bookcases and eating meatballs we gave it a miss.”
