Vi er morgendagen

This Norwegian drama, copyrighted in 1954 by Peter Howard, presents a compelling theatrical exploration of memory and human connection through the device of a college servant who embodies remembrance itself. The play unfolds across two acts set primarily in Paul Warrior's university room, with the second act fragmenting into two distinct temporal visions of 1979: one imagined possibility and one inevitable reality. The mysterious character Memory serves as both narrator and guide, addressing the audience directly with philosophical musings about humanity's inescapable dependence on recollection. Memory emerges as an unreliable yet indispensable presence, simultaneously keeper of secrets and revealer of truths, exploring themes of mortality, friendship, and the passage of time. Through witty dialogue and metatheatrical techniques, the play examines how memory shapes identity and binds individuals across generations. This work speaks to universal human experiences while questioning the nature of remembrance itself—what we choose to retain, what we forget, and what we actively suppress. The drama invites audiences to contemplate their own relationship with the past and its profound influence on their present selves. Harald Lyche of Drammen produced this edition of Howard's sophisticated meditation on collective human experience.
