Vodka Talks - by Arne Nielsen
English-Language world premiere
Directed by: Lars Junggreen
On Stage: Vanessa Poole, Jana Pulkrabek
VODKA TALKS when on the night of their father’s funeral two sisters reveal hidden secrets in a family drama, in the English-Language world premiere of Danish cult author Arne Nielsen’s thrilling debut stage play directed by Lars Junggreen.
VODKA TALKS follows two sisters’ conversation as they sort through their late father’s estate, in their family villa on the edge of Lake Constance, after their father's funeral. Edda, married to Robert, has children, the other, Freya, lives her life as a failed artist in changing relationships. Their father has left all his money to the extreme German right-wing political party AFD. The only possession he passes on to his daughters is the family villa, tying them to a past, they both badly try to escape. Digging up the secrets of their childhood requires a shot of vodka – or two… As the sisters' conversation evolves into first and current loves, and a discussion about religion and politics, many hidden mysteries contained in the house unfold. The early death of their mother, the always locked door to her room, and in the end, two letters which will reveal the truth.
