  • Pippendorf's colorful ghosts play

    A play based on the book of the same name by Mauri Kunnas on May 11.5.2024, 11.00 at 16:XNUMX a.m. on Children's Culture Saturdays. Ticket price €XNUMX/person.

    In Linnateatteri's brand new play, you will get to know the trendiest new designs of ghosts, you will encounter ghosts and goblins, and you will take funny side paths to supernatural wonders.

    Tassula market is haunted in the middle of a clear day. The Gray Lady of the Pippendorf manor gets new sheets for the youth of the ghost family from the mail pickup machine. It's Friday and the thirteenth day, which must not be spent in tattered sheets - no matter how fashionable they are. But the package reveals something completely different from the ordered basic sheets. Even the post office can make a mistake on the day of the ghosts... Otherwise, it's completely impossible.

    Sami Rannila dramatized the original work by Mauri and Tarja Kunnas.
