Review: Nazifruar

Ideology and emotion

Can a conservative fall in love with a leftist or a green ass? What if the spouse is an extreme, downright Nazi? Is love blind, and can emotions and the “work” of the beloved be kept separate? Gunilla Hemming’s play Nazifruar forces the audience to think. Raila Leppäkoski and Taru Mäkelä’s small-scale direction is a series of intimate encounters, women’s open accounts of their wifehood. Addictive.
