This Week’s Flashback -Easter Skiing in "Home Sweet Home"


In Norway everybody seems to head to the mountains at Easter time to go skiing. In my play "Home Sweet Home -The English Familiy" from 2004 I dramatised the experiences of a football-mad English teenager and his eccentric mother when they move to Norway in the early seventies. The play was performed over a period of two years, primarily for school audiences, and one of the most popular scenes was our first day on the ski slopes. The character of the mother claims she has learned how to ski from watching the Beatles film "Help!" dozens of times, and here she is trying to convince me that it’s a piece of cake. Happy Easter!
