SUMMARY:The Norwegians by C. Denby Swanson\, Directed by James Warwick.
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare & Company Presents: The Norwegians by C. Denby Swanson\, Directed by James Warwick.September 4-October 4th at 2 pm and 7 pm at the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre Set in a Minnesota bar where heartbreak is served alongside beer\, The Norwegians is a sharp\, surprising dark comedy about love gone wrong and the lengths we go to set things right. Betty and Olive\, two women reeling from romantic betrayal\, hatch an unlikely plan: hiring a pair of Norwegian hitmen to deal with the men who wronged them. Enter Tor and Gus\, professional killers who turn out to be unfailingly polite\, disarmingly gentle\, and almost aggressively nice. As the women's simmering rage collides with the hitmen's courteous manners\, the play finds humor in the contrast between Midwestern civility and the brutal business at hand. With witty dialogue and a clever premise\, The Norwegians explores the culture of America's "flyover country\," where kindness runs deep even in the most unexpected professions. At once dark\, funny\, and oddly tender\, the play examines love\, revenge\, and cultural identity\, reminding us that people are rarely what we expect and that even the politest among us may be capable of surprising extremes. Tickets are $30-$88 and on sale now at shakespeare.org\, or by calling the Box Office at 413.637.3353

Set in a Minnesota bar where heartbreak is served alongside beer\, The Norwegians is a sharp\, surprising dark comedy about love gone wrong&mdash\;and the lengths we go to set things right. Betty and Olive\, two women reeling from romantic betrayal\, hatch an unlikely plan: hiring a pair of Norwegian hitmen to deal with the men who wronged them. \;
Enter Tor and Gus\, professional killers who turn out to be unfailingly polite\, disarmingly gentle\, and almost aggressively nice. As the women&rsquo\;s simmering rage collides with the hitmen&rsquo\;s courteous manners\, the play finds humor in the contrast between Midwestern civility and the brutal business at hand. \;
With witty dialogue and a clever premise\, The Norwegians explores the culture of America&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;flyover country\,&rdquo\; where kindness runs deep&mdash\;even in the most unexpected professions. At once dark\, funny\, and oddly tender\, the play examines love\, revenge\, and cultural identity\, reminding us that people are rarely what we expect and that even the politest among us may be capable of surprising extremes. \;
