I went to see this play called Marriage simulator in Pyynikki summer theater. My sister in law wanted to see this one, because it is based on a book she ready a year ago and enjoyed it immensely. I hadn't been to Pyynikki summer theater before so I did not know what to expect. The first impression was not too good, as the first thing I saw was bunch of people drinking. The second thing was, the we were not asked to show our tickets anywhere.
At first the theater seemed a bit small. There were a lot of room for the audience in the middle. Once the play started, I understood that the stage was actually quite big and round. The audience was in middle of the stage and the audience turned around following the play. Very cool indeed!
The play itself was okey. The idea in it was okey. Well maybe you get the idea... I am not into Finnish movies and it seems that I am not into summer plays with proper actors. I have enjoyed many summer plays with amateur actors, and I think they have more character. Now don't get me wrong, I laughed! The play was funny at times, but I also were bored at times! My sister in law enjoyed it and she had good times. I had good time as well, but still think that the price to see it was a bit steep. Oh, maybe I should say something about the plot... A boy meets a girl and they fall in love. So they decide to break up with their current boy/girlfriends and move together. The one lives with father and uncle and brother at a farm and one lives in very outspoken environment. So comedy ensues.
