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.

Famous quotes containing the words worked with, worked and/or jon:
“There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“The dog is mentioned in the Bible eighteen times—the cat not even once.”
—W.E. Farbstein. Quoted in “Hundkeit,” Mondo Canine, ed. Jon Winokur, Dutton (1991)
