Blown away by her Bully Boys

It's been a busy week for Ian Burns of That Theatre, whose play 'Bully Boy' (at Krudttønden until Nov 22) continues to wow the critics, including the play's writer, Sandi Toksvig. 


Toksvig flew over specially to watch the play on Monday, and she told Burns: "There were aspects of this version which I preferred to the one we did in London. Even though I know the play well, I was still crying at the end. I couldn't be more delighted. You deserve to do well." (photo: Hasse Ferrold)

 
Burns was also busy this week with a panel debate on an issue raised in Bully Boy: the treatment of Veterans. The panel were (left-right) Blue Berets in Denmark VP Allan Vennike, military psychologist Anne Lillelund, former soldier and author Michael Kastrup Lassen, and Mads Walbom, the VP of Team Veteran, while the discussion was moderated by Weekendavisen and DR journalist Klaus Rothstein.

 
After the discussion, Burns was joined at the bar by performance artists Karoline H Larsen and Nikolaj Thile from Nationalmuseet.

A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
