- What is it?
- A housewife in downtown Reykjavik seems in no way
- different from other housewives. She takes care of her children,
- her husband and a Cameroon exchange student in a impeccable manner.
- Soon, however, it is revealed that the housewife is not at all as she seems.
- Adventurous or rather questionable secrets of the mistress comes to the
- surface and builds up to almost insoluble complexities.
- Here Vesturport takes on the comedy-form where the doors open
- and close at the correct moment, the characters appear at uncomfortable
- times or leave the stage right before everything becomes intolerably embarrassing.
- Actors changes characters in a remarkably short time, one playing
- with word games while another falls on a banana peal.
- All the tricks in the book and a lot of unexpected occurrences in the manor of Vesturport.
- A dangerous and colorful performance.
