Kuljeksiva teatteriseura: Kaksinäytöksinen ilveily lauluineen

A travelling theatre company arrives in a small town and attempts to stage an extravagant tragedy in a makeshift barn to raise funds for a needy widow, despite unpaid wages, shabby costumes and scarce resources. The director's grandiose plans for spectacular effects clash with actors' complaints about hunger and worn outfits, while debates over props, animals and casting generate comic misunderstandings. Songs, rehearsals and farcical scenes highlight the troupe's resourcefulness and internal rivalries. The play gently satirizes theatrical pretension and financial precarity, showing how camaraderie and improvisation sustain performers as they pursue spectacle on a shoestring.
