The 21-year-old rapper is at the top of the Danish rap scene. Her debut album ‘Epoker’ proved her technical writing skills.

In the heart of Tivoli’s Glassalen, the children’s play Robin Hood is taking centre stage. Although it’s in Danish, young ones invariably speak both languages, so don’t deny them the pleasure of seeing this. After all, it can’t be worse that Lionel Bart’s ‘Twang!’ (MR)

That Theatre artistic director Ian Burns takes on the role of Dickens.
