About the production
Röster i Radio (Voices on Radio) presented There Are Crimes and Crimes as 'a play primarily dealing with young adults, something that often fails when played by aged actors on stage. What makes this presentation great is that the roles are played by a young ensemble.' In the same article, Director Bergman wrote about why he connnected with this play: 'such a fresh breeze blows through it'.
