Men formmessig er dette usvikelig Fosse. Han viderefører rendyrkingen av sin språklige minimalisme med stutt verbalitet på overflaten og dybder av følelser og ladede situasjoner under. Som tidligere stykker, er også Natta syng sine songar åpen på den måten at realismen i tekstene kan utlegges som ren heimstaddiktning der karikerte hardinger har hovedrollen. Eller de kan sees som korthogne og snarere antirealistiske allegorier over menneskelige kår i vår tid.
