Love throughout the seasons of life in a contemporary drama by Frode Grytten .
Frode Grytten is one of Norway ’ s most beloved authors , and with this play he has created a beautiful homage to life-long love .
Albert and Anna , two senior citizens , have loved each other – and their garden – most of their lives . But Anna is disappearing , and when she is gone , Albert is afraid of losing himself too . In the performance , they encounter their younger selves . Humorous and warm flashbacks portray a life together through the changing seasons .
Albert & Anna is the story of an ordinary love , the kind that isn ’ t seen by anyone but those who share it .

An impossible love story .
A businessman meets a drunk woman on a bench outside his hotel . He surprises himself by taking her to his room .
