Robinson

Robinson is something you could call Cast Away for kids. If you've seen the movie Cast Away you'll know it's about a man stranded on an island who goes mad and befriends a ball.

Robinson is quite similar to this, except that we never see how he ends up on this island.

The ball is replaced with a mailbox that determines the laws of the island and the main character Robinson never finds out how to survive, but he doesn't need to anyway since there are a lot of strange things he needs to survive afloat.

In the story, Robinson is lonely, which is probably because he is on a desert island.

Luckily, he gets a visit from another person, and of course he's thrilled to have someone to play tennis with. But he's not happy for long, because they speak different languages.

This is one of the things that makes the show special. They speak Norwegian when they have to talk to the audience. But if they talk to each other, they speak the language their character actually speaks, Spanish and Japanese I think. This makes the play a bit boring for the smallest children who stopped paying attention when they didn't understand what the actors were saying. The older children seemed to find the different languages very interesting. The play was good visually, with lots of cool props and very good acting.

I would say that the play is suitable for children and parents 6 and up.
