Descripción del sitio
A Shakespearean drama from icy Finland, written by Asko Sahlberg, translated from the Finnish by Fleur and Emily Jeremiah.
Finland in the year 1809. Henrik and Erik are brothers who fought on opposite sides in the war between Sweden and Russia. With peace declared, they both return to their snowed-in farm to court the same woman. Tragedy looms, but the revelation of a family secret brings the two brothers to a new understanding.
"Asko Sahlberg brings regal drama to a farmhouse. … The comparison with Shakespeare might seem grandiose, but it’s justified." Helsingin Sanomat
