Life and work
editAgnethe Schibsted-Hansson debuted on April 20, 1891, at the Christiania Theater in the role of Valborg in En fallit. She participated in the theater's tour to most provincial towns in 1892, when several plays were performed.[4]
She was then engaged with the Carl Johan Theater from 1893 to 1895, the National Theater in Bergen from 1895 to 1899, and several theaters in Kristiania (now Oslo). Schibsted-Hansson became permanently engaged with the National Theatre in Oslo in 1912 after having periodically appeared there since its opening in 1899.
Marking her 25th anniversary as an actress in 1916, Schibsted-Hansson played the title role in the play Mrs. Warren's Profession.[5]
She excelled as a character actor, with a robust mood for creating realistic Oslo figures in Oskar Braaten's comedies. Among other things, Schibsted-Hansson made an impression as Dobbelt-Petra in Tancred Ibsen's film adaptation of Den store barnedåpen (The Great Christening, 1931).[1]
