It was 10.2., a cold Friday night when we walked into a small theatre in Jyväskylä to watch a play called “Ilias, Odyssey and the whole Greek mythology in 99 minutes or under”. It was a theatre of five people, two women and three men. The story took place in Ancient Greece and it told about stupid and hilarious decisions and things that the Greek gods and the people did at that time.
At first we thought that it was going to be a bit boring tale of Greek mythology. But when we walked into the theatre called “Huoneteatteri,” a warm, fuzzy feeling filled our bodies. The theatre was small and comfy and the lobby looked like an old café from the 18th century. It fit around a hundred people inside and the tickets were sold out.
So the play began. It was hilarious. The audience laughed a lot and the actors were professional. It wasn’t boring at all. Everything that we first thought it would be like was wrong, it was the complete opposite. The play had this 99 minute clock on the wall and the first half felt like 15 minutes long even it went well over 50 minutes. It changed my view on theatres to the total opposite of what it had been before this one. I’ve never realized how good theatres can be but now I know.
Your experience sounds very interesting! This text was easy to understand and it really made me interested in that play as well. I really like how you describe the theatre itself, too. Well done!
