Konungen av X-land : Komedi i tre akter
A stately council chamber doubles as a stage for gentle absurdity, where a dignified duke lounges amid towering piles of paperwork and a half‑hearted copy of Simplicissimus. He greets his vivacious physician‑assistant, a rotund man in a bright vest, with a mix of aristocratic fatigue and self‑deprecating humor. Their banter swirls around the duke’s restless health, a quirky “electric massage” device, and the endless parade of bureaucratic projects that crowd his mind.
The dialogue crackles with witty observations about power, propriety, and the everyday oddities of court life, while the characters—an inquisitive princess, a pompous excellence, and a host of curious servants—peek in and out, ready to add their own flavours to the comedy. Listeners are drawn into a world where pomp meets pratfall, and even the most solemn surroundings are tinged with a light‑hearted, almost musical rhythm.
Set in a timeless, fictional realm, the first act establishes a charmingly eccentric ensemble, inviting you to linger over each eccentric remark and anticipate the playful complications that await in the chapters to come.
