This show is, as most shows are, very much a product of its time. Yes, it seems quaint and cheap now, and you probably won't "get" it unless you happen to be familiar with the cultural Zeitgeist and the political reality in Norway in the early 1980s. Oh, and you need to understand the language, obviously...
The group "Tramteatret" were radical leftists, which shines through in most of their work -- and especially in this one. Aside from that, they never did take themselves too seriously and so the low-production values here are actually quite fitting. It's a nice mix of "OK, I can see what they were going for" and "Were they even trying?" The humor is almost entirely over-the-top and tongue in cheek. That said, it doesn't always hit the mark in my book.
