Rob and I went to the National Theater to see Klaufar og kóngsdætur, Ævintýraheimur H.C. Andersens (Rude Lads and Royal Ladies,The Fairytale world of H.C. Andersen) which had some puppetry by my friend Bernd Ogrodnik. I was expecting the show to be forty-five minutes, which is how long most kid’s shows are in the states. Nope, it was a full-length production–in Icelandic. That was a little too long to be clueless about what was happening. The production values were high, but I only knew what was happening in the stories which I already knew.
