Come on, Bangladesh, just do it!
Five actors from Bangladesh have been taught the most necessary Danish for six weeks. Now they are on stage at the Royal Theater and will perform “Elverhøj”. The five actors are significantly cheaper labor than if they had been Danish actors. That’s convenient. Because then you can use the surplus in the budget to pamper others.
This is outsourcing on a level where even Nike, one of the biggest outsourcers in the world, was forced to say: “Just Do It!
Come on, Bangladesh! is produced by The Royal Danish Theatre and was first performed in spring of 2006 at Turbinehallerne.

“It is a challenging fun idea to outsource the Danish national treasure Elverhøj.”
