The Last Curtain in Sjöhaga

about 3 h 15 min · 4–6 players

Folkets hus in Sjöhaga, 8 March 1957. The travelling company Norrskenet premiered 'The Countess and the Shadow' to a full house, and when the curtain fell after the third act the prompter Henning Ståhl was found dead in the prompt box beneath the stage with a blow to the back of the head. The scenery weight in the left wing hung back on its hook, the trapdoor was screwed shut, and all eleven members stood on stage during the applause. The file was placed in the strongbox at Folkets hus and only came to light in 1964: interrogation records, the prompt book with the evening's entrances, the light cue sheet, and an envelope with an advance that had gone missing from the till. No one is missing from the house, no one has seen anything, and whoever reads the cast list on the poster straight through gets a judge who does not exist.
