The play Ways of Seeing attracted huge amounts of controversy in Norway in 2018, leading to media outrage as a series of attempts at terror action and threatening cutout letters where sent to the house of the justice minister. Now in 2020, there is a court case going on against Laila Bertheussen, the ministers partner, for staging fake threats in an apparent attempt at framing the people behind the play.
