Review: Yksi mies, kaksi pomoa

Secobolts


The viewer of the farce has its tolerance limits for the confusion and vulgarity of coincidences. Raja lives according to the secret wisdom of the text, the relevance of the time and the talents of the actors.

Richard Bean’s One Man, Two Bosses at the Helsinki City Theatre will make even the person who is fighting back burst into laughter. The story takes place in Brighton in 1963 – director Neil Hardwick was 16 years old at the time, knows his country, the morals and ridiculousness of the time. The actors are enjoying themselves: Santeri Kinnunen is a master of farce, Sari Siikander is a wonderful mix of sleazy and feminist, Sanna-June Hyde is a full blonde, Ilkka Forss (like Danny!) and Sauli Suonpää are orthodox stumps.

On stage, the band playing the sounds of the 60s and its lead singer Jiri Nikkinen know their job, a couple of spectators are recruited to the stage and the rest are also commented on the progress of the play. The Christmas party has been prepared.
