Lorensbergsteatern, Gothenburg
395–725 kr · ≈ $41–76
On the Halland coast stands "Badhotell Klitterviken" - once grand, now in the late 1920s a hotel that has clearly seen better days. It is a fact that the pompous owner Estrid (Helena Aspeflo) stubbornly refuses to acknowledge. She drives her worn-out husband Hubert (Håkan Klamas) to maintain the appearance of an exclusive beach hotel, despite what the walls tell a different story.
It is the era of Prohibition, and Hubert has secretly made a deal with smuggling kingpin Konrad Stålberg (Daniel Träff) to earn some extra money. A large shipment of smuggled spirits has been delivered to the hotel overnight and is to be forwarded - which would have gone quite smoothly if Estrid had not booked a wake for the wealthy widow Stråhle (Ewa Roos) on the same day. The widow's late husband was chairman of Halland's temperance committee. The widow has also promised to donate a substantial sum to the hotel, provided the wake proceeds calmly and with dignity.
To make matters worse, the owners' daughter Alfrida (Jeanette Capocci) arrives at the hotel to expose her suspected unfaithful lover - while carefully concealing that she recently lost her job and spent her parents' money at Gothenburg's jazz clubs and dance halls. Pastor Livhed (Mikael Riesebeck), who is to conduct the memorial service, suffers from narcolepsy and falls asleep mid-speech. Postman Dag-Otto Flink (Jojje Jönsson) no longer knows whether he is a postman, smuggler, waiter, or priest. And the hotel's newly checked-in guests Rut (Annika Andersson) and Ragnar (Mikael Riesebeck) are involuntarily drawn into the chaos.
With smuggled spirits, a body going astray, threatening spirits police, and a crate that never seems to contain what it should - the circus soon becomes complete.
Vallarnagänget on a major Sweden tour, featuring Annika Andersson, Mikael Riesebeck, Ewa Roos, Jojje Jönsson, Jeanette Capocci, Håkan Klamas, Daniel Träff, and Helena Aspeflo.
