Saltstänk & Smuggelsprit Tour

On the Halland coast stands "Badhotell Klitterviken" - once grand, now in the late 1920s a place that has clearly seen better days. It is a fact that the pompous owner Estrid (Helena Aspeflo) stubbornly refuses to acknowledge. She drives her exhausted husband Hubert (Håkan Klamas) to maintain the appearance of an exclusive beach hotel, despite the walls telling a very different story.

It is the era of Prohibition and smuggling, and Hubert has secretly made a deal with smuggling kingpin Konrad Stålberg (Daniel Träff) - a large shipment of spirits has been delivered to the hotel at night and must be passed along. The problem is that on the same day Estrid has booked a wake for the wealthy widow Stråhle (Ewa Roos), whose late husband was chairman of Halland's temperance committee - and the widow has promised to donate a substantial sum to the hotel, provided everything proceeds calmly and with dignity.

To make matters worse, the couple's daughter Alfrida (Jeanette Capocci) shows up, searching for a suspected unfaithful lover - and careful not to mention that she recently lost her job and spent her parents' money at Gothenburg's jazz clubs. Pastor Livhed (Mikael Riesebeck), who is to conduct the memorial service, turns out to have narcolepsy. Postman Dag-Otto Flink (Jojje Jönsson) soon doesn't know if he is a postman, smuggler, waiter, or priest. And the hotel's newly arrived guests Rut (Annika Andersson) and Ragnar (Mikael Riesebeck) are unwillingly drawn into it all.

With smuggled spirits, a body gone astray, threatening spirits police, and a chest that never seems to contain what it should - the circus soon becomes total chaos. Vallarnagänget is on a major Swedish tour with this salty beach-hotel farce.

Performance length: approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including intermission.
