A comedy packed with twists and turns, where innocence and endearing excesses will have audiences laughing from the bottom of their hearts.

Two couples who are friends and neighbours are each preparing for an ordinarily dull evening at home. But the temperamental Laura announces to her husband Billy that she is going to the opera with a former admirer. Their neighbour Jack also wants a night out and heads off to his club, leaving the mousy Blanny home alone. Once their fun-loving spouses have dashed off for the evening, the timid Billy and Blanny are left to spend the night together. For once, they decide to let their hair down and spring into action, mixing every alcoholic drink they can find in the house into cocktails. But they are completely inexperienced when it comes to alcohol—and particularly unaccustomed to such deceptively potent concoctions—with the result being one of the most masterful and hilarious scenes in dramatic literature. When the returning spouses find the revellers asleep, events gather pace. Explanations abound, and the following morning brings surprises unlike anything they have experienced before. Otetaas toiset! is a comedy packed with twists and turns, where innocence and endearing excesses will have audiences laughing from the bottom of their hearts—and hoping for the best.
