I went and saw Elling at the theatre on Saturday night. I was dubious about anything billed as a 'Norwegian Comedy' given that funny is not a term i would have associated with any of the rather dour norsemen I have met over the years. The play was based on a series of novels and the first half was very slow and consisted of what was basically all character development. The second half was very funny, but i am not sure it made up for the very slow first half. It was quite odd and i find myself unable to say whether it was good or not it was so much a play of two halves.

I was good enough for me to go get the novels though.
