ATN001 ‘Conversations that never happened‘ Imagine that some of the most famous people of all time from the Nordic Countries got together just for a friendly chat: from Bergman to Aalto, from Linneus to King Bluetooth, from Nurmi to Ibsen. What would they talk about? Would they get on well? Would they share some of the secrets of their respective crafts? The dialogues in this book can be read as pure fiction, but theatre schools can also use these short scenes to teach acting in their drama classes.
