Sydney Theatre Company in association with Ambassador Theatre Group
After two years of sharing a room in a mental institution Elling and Kjell are allowed out, back into society. It’s not that they’re dangerous, they’re just a little… hopeless.
Elling is too smart, too sensitive, too… Elling. And Kjell? Well, Kjell has a plan, a dream, a great ambition. He wants to meet a woman. Preferably today.
Elling charts the bumps and stumbles as this truly odd couple make their way back into the world we take for granted.
A hit on the West End, Elling is a charming celebration of the simple things in life: freedom and fellowship.

I’ve had in the theatre for ages”
