Review: Tontut suutareina

Heartfelt elf

Helsinki City Theatre started Christmas before department stores!

In the lobby of the small stage, a play based on Grimm’s fairy tale will be performed
A sympathetic story about shoemakers who can’t make shoes. Yes
cold, so you can’t even get the thread into the eye of the needle. I’d be hungry, but they weren’t
has been eaten.

Pekka Laiho and Kristiina Elstelä’s
The seam is saved by two elves who make them work for them at night
shoes.

Laiho and Elstelä are incomparable as a shoemaker couple, as well as
as nocturnal elves, whom they turn into comical squabblers. Difference
The roles are like night and day, as it should be.

are lip-smacking and whining rabblers. Fly Ehrenbusch dolls
Laiho and Estelä move flexibly.

Sami Parkkinen has translated the text into nimble Finnish and Milko Lehto
directed a half-hour performance into a heartfelt moment
