Agota Kristóf's The Great Writing Book is about twin boys who are taken to their grandmother at the border, away from the big city and the horrors of war. A coming-of-age story where life is anything but peaceful: dirty, poor, full of abuse and obscenities.

Director Sofia Adrian Jupither takes the bull by the horns and with restrained direction corresponds well with Kristof's famously precise and scant language. The ending of the show, when it both opens and ends, is almost as good as in the book. A very good rating.
