Kurtturuusut
Now is the time to dareKurtturuusut is a warm-hearted comedy about friendship, love and growing older.
Paula, Eini, Erika and Sirkka – four widowed women in their seventies, four friends, the Kurtturuusut. The women share their lives with one another – and there is plenty to share. Rather than dwelling on their aches and pains, they live life on their own terms, embrace every moment and have fun together.
But something is missing. Love.
The Kurtturuusut boldly set out in search of love, because if there is something you want to do, the time to do it is now. The women begin dating a variety of men, from familiar faces of the past to new acquaintances they meet online. Drama, comedy and life ensue.
Kurtturuusut is a radiant celebration of friendship and a toast to the joys of growing older and all the shades of life!
The play is based on Pirjo Tuominen’s bestselling novel of the same name (Tammi 2024).

“Exactly. You never know – the man of my dreams might still walk past me in the street.”
“At our age, that’s actually one of the criteria: the man still has to be able to walk unaided.”
