Learn About Norway!

Why learn about Norway?
Because Henrik Ibsen set his play Ghosts there (along with all his other plays, too).
Wikipedia actually has a lot of cool info... Do you know what a stave church is?
Do you know where Norway is exactly?
Did you know that Norway was once part of Sweden & Denmark?
Did you know Scandinavians believe in elves??

Norway's geography & weather actually figure prominently in our current play.
Even Ibsen once quipped, "If you don't know Norway, you can't really understand my plays."
