Review: Diivat

THEATRE DIRECTORS LAUGH IN WOMEN’S CLOTHES

Imagine Esko Roine and Asko Sarkola in women’s clothes, remember
The film Piukat paikat and add some quotes from Shakespeare’s
plays. Now you have a pretty good image of Divas. Either starts
laugh?

The story of the pursuit of money and love begins with two
when the British actor noticed during his American tour that the
The heirs of a rich woman are being sought. Of course, they decide to leave
to pursue a giant inheritance. However, there are small problems along the way. As
The fact that the heirs are actually female. And the fact that a woman isn’t
dead. And that a male actor posing as a woman happens to fall in love
cousin, who is about to marry a
with the priest.

You simply cannot get out of such a situation without confusion
and strange situations. And the viewer can’t survive without laughing.

Dressing as a woman is not exactly the most recent way
in the history of theatrical fun, but in this case it works, so
The situations have been skilfully constructed. As expected,
theatre directors Esko Roine and Asko Sarkola are irresistible as women.
They have so much charisma and experience that transformation becomes
believable despite the outward unfemininity.

In the role of the priest, Santeri Kinnunen is in excellent shape as a comedian and Satu
Silvo is just as lovely a cousin as it should be. And visually too
everything is fine. The most spectacular detail of the set is the stage
rolling train.

Divas are guaranteed entertainment, but they don’t get bogged down in the most obvious ones
farce. The text of the divas works so well that on stage you could
even less trying. I wonder if this play will be performed soon
elsewhere as well.
