Verdiløse Menn

Verdiløse menn is a musical written by Christopher Nielsen, based on the songs and lyrics of his brother Joachim Nielsen.

The story follows Goggen, who is alone at home and looking for company. His old friends have found jobs or partners, while Kleggen is still available. When Kleggen arrives with a six-pack and Knugern in tow, the story takes a new turn.

Throughout the production, Joachim Nielsen’s music is woven into stories about friendship, love, substance abuse, social exclusion and loss. The songs are performed by three musicians from Jokke’s former band.

The cast includes Jan Sælid, Gard B. Eidsvold, Kim Sørensen, Marte Engebrigtsen and Per Egil Aske.

The music is performed by Valentourettes, featuring Petter Baarli, Peter Pogo and Runar “Kula” Johannessen.

The production is directed and designed by Anders T. Andersen.
