Klockriketeatern, a respected theatre
company that performs in the Swedish-
speaking part of
Helsinki, had a big
success with
Mr. Green får besök.  
The translation was done by
Martin
Kurtén
(above), who played Mr.
Green.  The director was
Kristin Olsoni
(right, holding the umbrella).  Ross
was played by
Joachim Wigelius
(below right).  The play was so popular
that it was revived several times.


A True Pearl at
Klockriketeatern
      

"What a  performance Klockriketeatern
treats us to!  It has to become the
theatrical success of the spring in
town.  It's the Nordic premiere of the
play written by the American Jeff
Baron. It has received the KulturPreis
Europa in 2001. It’s not surprising.

This is a play with its arms full of
warmth.  One reason for theatre is to
increase our understanding of
ourselves and other people’s lives.
This story succeeds in that, without a
shallow happy end.  We carry with us a
peaceful feeling of trust, that the star
of goodness shines somewhere."
