Worked With Jon Fosse

Anna's work has particularly pinpointed the development of translation and adaptation as an important part of cultural enhancement. Miss Gutto was instrumental in bringing Norway’s most prominent contemporary playwright, Jon Fosse, to the United States. Fosse's plays have been staged all over the world but it was not until 2004 that the American audience experienced how this internationally renowned playwright has influenced modern theater with Anna's theater company Oslo Elsewhere's production of Night Sings Its Songs . In 2006 Anna Gutto was also instrumental in bringing a contemporary adaptation of Henrik Ibsen´s Rosmersholm to New York, allowing New Yorkers to take part in the 2006 international centennial celebrations of one of the world’s most produced playwrights.
