The Colonel's Wife

A comedy by a contemporary Scandinavian playwright, full of dark humour and situational twists, exploring marriage, love, the relationship between parents and adult children, and the art of living.

What unfolds in one family when an eccentric widow of a colonel takes her late husband's urn of ashes directly from the funeral home and opens a bottle of homemade spirits? Her descendants soon appear, wanting to have their "crazy" mother declared incompetent so they can more easily access the inheritance.
