Winter

Jon Fosse · 2000 CE · Play · Nordic · Contemporary

A man and a woman, strangers to each other, meet on a park bench in winter and end up in a hotel room. Their halting, repetitive exchanges circle what each wants and cannot say. An early play in the pared-down, rhythmic idiom that made Fosse among the most staged living dramatists in Europe.
