I've got goosebumps. One of us. It's horrendous. July 2011. A far-right terrorist has just massacred sixty-nine people, most of them students attending a Norwegian Labour Party Youth's summer camp on the island of Utoya. Gunnar and Malin have sent their daughter to the island, and desperately seek contact. On the farm next-door to the perpetrator's, Petter and Inga realise their suspicions about him are well-founded. At Central Command, Alf and Unni must decide on the best course of action in response to the attack. A searing reflection on the domestic effects of societal trauma, Edoardo Erba's Utoya offers a timely reminder of the threat of far-right extremism, inviting us to consider how tragedy can both bind people together and pull them further apart. This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at London's Arcola Theatre in August 2024.
