Oslo Nye Teater

Established in the 1920's with the aim of providing a stage for new Norwegian and foreign drama. However, the repertoir was for many years dominated by comedy with leading revue artists.
Recently there have been a move toward creating a more urban and modern theatre with a bolder, fresher approach and an emphasis on younger actors who are just establishing themselves.
