If you are feeling a bit malnourished on cultural happenings I strongly recommend the musical Last Five Years that is currently playing at Åbo Svenska Teater. Like most musicals, it is an emotional ride that is just wonderful in all its intimacy and humanity. Anna-Maria Hallgarn and Alexander Lycke (both known from ÅST's Jesus Christ Superstar) play a couple that are going through a divorce and are retelling their story from two different perspectives and through different timelines.
Hallgarn and Lycke offer splendid performances that match each other perfectly and are the only ones on stage except for the superb five man orchestra. The songs are in Swedish, but with Finnish and Swedish subtitles.
If you book only one day in advance you will get a student discount and see the show for 10 €. See ÅST's web page for more details: http://www.abosvenskateater.fi/sv/start/
Do go and see it, it is excellent.
Stay golden,
