The story tells of a couple who have bought an old house in a remote seaside setting and are visiting it for the first time.
They bought it in order to “be alone together.” While there, the man who owned the house previously appears unannounced and seeks a closer relationship to the woman.
[1] The old house is filled with the voices of its former inhabitants, who seem to have left in a hurry and never returned.
Nokon kjem til å komme was the first drama Jon Fosse wrote in 1992, but it was not published or staged in Norway until 1996, and then in Paris in 1999.
[3] The English translation by Gregory Motton (2002) was performed in Washington, DC.
