Rakvere Theatre touring North America with "In the Whirl of Winds"
05.09.2012
They rebel and demand their rights. One man thinks of the entire
nation, but can't see the woman beside him. A second man demands the
return of his land and loves the bride of another man. The woman doesn't
know whom to choose. Passions surge, people fight. Everyone wants only
the best, but everything is in a hurricane, inside the whirling winds.
Who wins in such a situation?
Rakvere Theatre from Estonia tours North America with a famous play by
August Kitzberg "In the Whirl of Winds". The play was written more than
100 years ago. In 1906 it was the opening play of the first Estonian
professional theatre Vanemuine.
The play won the Audience Award
of Rakvere Theatre in 2010/2011 as best production and was one of eight
theatre productions that were chosen for the main programme of the
Estonian Theatre Festival DRAMA 2011.
