Danish theater production from 1985. Per Olov Enquist wrote this chamber play about three cultural figures from Danish history. H.C. Andersen, who tries to gain favor with the cultural elite, the powerful theater director Johan Ludvig Heiberg, and his wife, the actress Johanne Louise Heiberg. Like the poet, Mrs. Heiberg also comes from a poor background and has stubbornly fought her way up the social ladder. The recording is from the Royal Theater's production.
