A Christmas Tradition in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany is to screen this short playlet from 1963. The same procedure every year.
While it helps to know a little German to understand the introduction, it's not necessary, you'll pick up the gist of it. And the play itself is in English.
The production itself is almost unknown in the UK.
Intermittent postings from Canberra, Australia on Software Development, Space, Politics, and Interesting URLs.
And of course, Brains...

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
First time I've ever seen or heard of it... so many thanks for sharing, Zoe…
ReplyDeleteIt maybe 1963 exemplification, but by its growing annual popularity, it's very much probably how the British still come across to many folk in the northern parts of Europe…
Ciao…

They tried to stop it one year in germany and had to back down due to public protest. Always sort of bracketed it with the japanese adoption of 'ode to joy' as a christmas theme.
