Kuningatar K ja Rakkaudesta minuun Kaliforniassa

Laura Ruohosen näytelmä Queen C on saanut hienon totetuksen Lit Moon -teatterin Midnight Sun -festivaalilla. Myös Anna Krogeruksen For Sheer Love of Me on saanut ylistävät arvostelut samalla festivaalilla.


As played by Victoria Finlayson, Christina was compelling, inscrutable, and relentless. ... John Blondell’s direction captured the play’s layered, poetic, and metaphorical nature — letting out the script’s humor and absurdity, as well as its deep ambiguities and tragic moments. The playwright took it all in, rapt and beaming.

Yet this excellent play, well directed by Mikko Viherjuuri and beautifully acted by the cast of four, is anything but a meta-fictional exercise. The story is relatively simple, but the bittersweet blend of emotions is not, and the writing gives each actor room to deliver a stellar performance.

I can't recall ever having been so moved  as I was at the English-language premiere  of For Sheer Love Of Me.
