Selima: Sadullinen komedia viidessä näytöksessä

A lively, five‑act comedy opens in the bustling courts of Delhi, where a displaced prince and his loyal servant recount the chaos that drove them from their homeland. Their banter mixes melodrama with sharp wit, as they describe fleeing burning palaces, wandering through foreign markets, and stumbling into the imperial palace’s tangled intrigues.

The cast swells with colorful figures: Selima, the emperor’s enigmatic daughter; Adelina, a captive slave with a mysterious past; a wandering refugee prince, his faithful aide, and a host of courtiers, guards, and scholars. Their intersecting ambitions and misunderstandings spark a cascade of humorous misunderstandings, while the looming threat of war adds a bittersweet edge to their escapades.

Through brisk dialogue and vivid, almost theatrical descriptions, the play paints a satirical portrait of power, exile, and the absurdities of court life. Listeners will be drawn into a world where tragedy and comedy walk hand in hand, promising an engaging, tongue‑in‑cheek journey through a far‑off empire.
