Citation by the Jury:
This play was wonderfully produced with rich use of music which also left space for listeners. It was refreshing in a year dominated by masculine themes to hear a biographical story of a real flesh-and-blood woman brought back to life.  The clever elliptical script needed neither metaphor nor allegory to convey its theme.  The sixty years of the life of Lise Lindbaeck were condensed into 60 minutes in a dramatic lively way.
