SATContemporary Presents Reading Series: THEN SILENCE by Arne Lygre

This thought-provoking drama exposes the downfalls of the human race through 10 scenes. We see behind the terrible lies in a break-up; the torture in an interrogation; and a battle of life and death, man versus man, while the ocean is rising...

Arne Lygre made his debut in 1998 with the play «Mother and Me and Men». Since then he has written six other plays, which have been staged and published in countries around the world.
«Man Without Purpose» was directed by Claude Régy at Odeon Théâtre in Paris in 2007/08. His new play, «I Disappear», will have its world premiere at La Colline Théâtre National in November 2011, directed by Stéphane Braunschweig. Arne Lygre wrote his first collection of short stories in 2004, «In Time», for which he was presented the prestigious Norwegian literary award Brageprisen. He has also written two novels, «A Last Face» and «My Dead Man», which both were very well received by the critics. He was awarded the literary award Mads Wiels Nygaards' Legacy in 2010.
