Absence of atmosphere and a weak ensemble result in a production that fails to conjure any spirit.

Comedy, clowning, black magic, sexual healing, rituals and cross-dressing. Tell me that doesn’t sound like a good night out.

Moving, beautifully produced musical that's good for the ears and heart.

Two spot on performances of two interesting women, but overall result feels dated.

Pros: Good to see an early Ibsen being staged. Cons: Early Ibsen sags in the middle. Ottisdotter Productions bring their focus to lesser known and obscure plays that emphasise the role of women in society. Having last been presented at London’s Adelphi Theatre in 1911, Henrik Ibsen’s Olaf belongs amongst the Norwegian master’s lesser known works, falling outside the 12-play ‘Ibsen Cycle.’ The version presented at Barons Court Theatre is an adaptation by ottisdotter of Anders Orbeck’s translation of Ibsen’s Olaf ...

A delight of an evening; entertaining monologues interspersed with powerfully performed songs.

Worth seeing for the performance, but the show overall left me cold.
