The Dictator

The dictator has others who do most things for him - he is fed, his teeth are brushed, and stories are read to him, but only those about himself and how wonderful he is. His private chauffeur drives him to the MINIstry (in a small tank), staff take care of his outer clothes, and he practices writing his name, because dictators must be able to do that. When he orders himself to sleep, he must obey - but it goes worse when he tries to order the girl Sirkka to become his friend. When you are a very small dictator, it can become lonely in the end.

The Dictator is a humorous portrayal of a small tyrant - in other words, a child. The performance is based on a book by Ulf Stark and is performed by Gustav Lundkvist and Jakob Stefansson.
