SELMA LAGERLÖF
A bustling manor house in 1840‑s Sweden provides the stage for this lively comedy of manners. The proud factory owner Teodor Fristedt is busy overseeing the construction of a delicate honor‑gate, while his household scurries to prepare a lavish dinner. Tensions rise when a prized salmon, intended for the feast, becomes the unlikely centerpiece of the gate’s final ornament.
The eccentric cast – from the steadfast maid Frida to the cheeky coachman Kalle and the solemn chaplain Nyberg – spar over tradition, pride, and the absurdities of status. Their witty banter and exaggerated schemes showcase the clash between old‑world decorum and the desire for spectacle. Listeners are invited into a colourful portrait of rural aristocracy, where even a simple fish can spark a cascade of hilariously grand plans.
