into English. " We have a lot more
words in English, " says Sunde. " Fosse
may use a word that can mean 10
different things in English. That's the
hardest part. "

Now that Fosse is known among American
theater enthusiasts and scholars,
what is it about his plays that appeals to
American audiences?
Gutto believes it's the poetry and the
universality of Fosse's characters, as well
as his ability to shed light on issues in
relationships in a non-threatening way.
For fast-paced Americans, Sunde fi nds
in Fosse's plays " space for refl ection and
examination, where we can acknowledge
that it's okay that we're all striving
to connect and that sometimes we succeed
and sometimes we fail. "
Gutto sees all kinds of people in
Oslo Elsewhere's audiences, including
" young people who are curious about
new playwrights, and people in the
older generation who ... are curious
about [Fosse's] mastery of language
and of drama. "

Fosse play when one comes to a theater
