Review: Pariisin kukko

– –

Casual flirting and family
torment

Helsinki City Theatre brought to life
Georges Feydeau’s classic farce The Rooster of Paris.
The play, directed by Frej Lindqvist , drags the viewer through a century
to Paris in the middle of the colourful
swinger party.

     Sara
Paavolainen
is a virtuous lady whose morals are unshakable. He
agrees to overthrow his young lover (Sami Uotila)
to bed only after she has received evidence from her husband (Asko Sarkola)
infidelity. The man’s friend (Risto Kaskilahti) also whines
distant lady. An English man swallower (Miitta
Sorvali) and a mixed congregation of other lustful and funny
characters.

     The star of the Parisian rooster
gets better towards the end. Especially the confused gentleman played by Asko Sarkola,
Sami Uotila’s feminine gigolo and Miitta Sorval’s dreary siren raise a smile
unnoticed on the lips.
