"Has Julie Thor Fryd got talent? Yes, she has. Now she just has to keep at it.”
Anne Middelboe Christensen
Information, September 6th. 2006
Our everyday empty turns of phrase are turned into fascinating drama in Julie Thor Fryd’s R\O|O/M (Rum|muR). And fortunately the director, Lars Romann Engel, has left the actors’ faces alone.
She can do something with her words, 27-year-old Julie Thor Fryd. And she can do an awful lot with other people’s words. Actually it seems as if she mostly spends her time listening to all our empty greetings and putting-of-the-world-to-rights. She can make ‘don’t mind me’-civility resound just as hypocritically as ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’-despondency. Fryd’s gift lies in putting these peculiar expressions together so that they create mysterious tales of failed lives. Supernatural and inexplicable – and comic.

”It is refreshing to become acquainted with one of the young Danish playwrights, Julie Thor Fryd. Her new play R\O|O/M exudes poetic absurdism and mixes sad sniggers with comic tragedy in a meticulous and moving production at CaféTeatret.”

"… Along the way we have seen the ghost of the walled-up woman haunt the lodger – but is even just one of her bones to be seen there in the darkness when everything comes to light? Anne Birgitte Lind Feigenberg with pinprick pupils is seriously scary, Frank Thiel as the unfortunate architect lodger is a splendidly pedantic nerd, and Ole Westh-Madsen as the old landlord-troll is a figure we know exists but hope never to meet. Lars Romann Engel’s unerring instinct for nightmare does not fail him, and dramatist Julie Thor Fryd cuts no corners in staying one step ahead of the audience and our agitated speculation."
