Now, I would like your help for my 3rd nomination. I was thinking of something with depth for which the group could express good commentaries (if voted of course). So to my mind has come a play of Ibsen. Ea, I am pretty sure that you are a theater going one. For no rational reasons (just pure intuition), I think the same of you, Jon. Now, with this post I am not yet making any proposal, but could either of you suggest me a play of Ibsen, or equivalent, not even a play for what it matters. I could then propose it right in the open and you would still have your 3 intact.

What do you think?
Well - and I'm not necessarily suggesting it - "A doll's house" - I had to sit through it in school, I've seen it at least twice with friends and/or family - and apart from the plays of Holberg there is no more well-known play in Denmark (in my generation). It's also a truly great play - and after having read "The children's book" by Byatt I am even more amazed by the play. But all in all I prefer plays to be seen rather than read sol I can't really propose it. My alternative proposal would be a fairytale by the brothers Grimm.
