Elling by Simon Bent
Meet Elling and Kjell Bjarne, the Odd Couple of the dysfunctional world. Given a flat in the centre of Oslo by social services, their mission is to re-assimilate themselves back into society. It's that or return to the asylum. All they have to do is convince their social worker, Frank, that they really are 'normal'.
Elling is quirky and really one of a kind.. If ever a play was destined for success, Elling is it * British Theatre Guide *
