The two siblings have worked together as actors in film, most recently in Susanne Bier's "Freud flyttar hemifrån" (1991). But now it's the first time they're doing theater together, when the Noréndrama "Communion" is staged at Göteborgs stadsteater, directed by Eva Dahlman.

"It's very fun and surprising to work with Jessica. Fun because we know each other so well and have always had a lot of fun together. Surprising because she as an acting colleague shows new sides of herself, other than those in the sibling relationship", says Philip Zandén in a press release.

Both siblings make their Norén debut here.

Also playing in the play are, among others, Steve Kratz, Jill Ung, Fredrik Evers, Karin de Frumerie, Ashkan Ghods and Hannes Ahlin.
