Essays/written Works
Miss Gutto’s essays on theatrical work across borders and the art of translation and adaptation from one country to another have been published in industry publications such as Stikkordet, the magazine of the Norwegian Actors' Equity Association, as well as Kunnskapsforlaget's book Ibsens kvinner (Ibsen's Women) for which Norway's former Minister of Culture Ellen Horn was editor. Her essays focus on the art of translation and adaptation beyond the linguistic challenges. Her essay from Ibsen's Women describes her intentions, process and development of the adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm for a contemporary American audience. Miss Gutto has also worked as translator/adaptor on plays such as Water by Sheila Callaghan, The Lover by Harold Pinter and Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen. For the latter she worked in collaboration with American playwright Bridgette Wimberly and Norwegian dramaturge Oda Radoor.

Famous quotes containing the words essays, written and/or works:
“If these Essays were worthy of being judged, it might fall out, in my opinion, that they would not find much favour, either with common and vulgar minds, or with uncommon and eminent ones: the former would not find enough in them, the latter would find too much; they might manage to live somewhere in the middle region.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Much has been written about her enemies. She picked them with care, and God knows they deserved her.”
—Jules Feiffer (b. 1929)
“Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
For scholars and for poets after us,
Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
A dance-like glory that those walls begot.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
