Episode 205 Good Luck

Persistent and Nasty

A clever, funny, existential play about philosophy and childbirth – with a touch of dubstep, karate, and slagging Socrates off. An overnight smash-hit success in Norway with an ever-growing cult following and Finalist for the Hedda Award 2023 as Best Theatre Play, award-winning Det Andre Teatret brings their hilarious and existential theatre show Good Luck, Cathrine Frost! to the Festival Fringe 2024 to talk philosophy, birth, and public health. Did you know Socrates was pregnant? Yep - all the time. He gave birth to the immortal, pure, and civilised: ideas! Imagine that. All Cathrine Frost did was grow and give birth to an ACTUAL screaming, human, ugly baby… and then decided to write a comedy theatre show about it, discovering a galaxy of secrets in the process. No notes, huh Socrates? Cathrine Frost Andersen is an actor, improviser, and nurse. As an early member of the ensemble at Det Andre Teatret, which she helped start in 2011, she plays in a number of different improvised performances throughout the year, both on the theatre's own stage in Oslo and out on tour. Cathrine is part of Det Andre Teatret’s longest-living improv group Improtent and she has a long acting career behind her. She has, among other things, been involved in the theatre production Vildanden at the festivals in Bergen with Vegard Winge directing, and a residence in Kautokeino at the Sami National Theater Beaivvás. She has participated in various theatre festivals at home and abroad, and is also on the TV screen now and then. In autumn 2022, she debuted with her first solo performance Good Luck, Cathrine Frost!. The show was a finalist to the prestigious Hedda award 2023 as Best Theatre Play.
