Review: Everstinna

This is how life wentHEIDI HERALA gave a lesson. Was I really afraid that a two-hour monologue play might feel heavy, even tiring? How wrong I was. The Colonel, which has spread to the stage from Rosa Liksom’s novel to the stage, transports us from one emotion and situation to another, bringing Finland’s history and growing pains and the life of one woman to the fore. Heidi Herala is harrowingly good as a colonel. In his sixties, he is perhaps more dazzling than ever.
