The play is set in the women’s toilet of a nightclub in central Reykjavík. The toilet becomes a kind of refuge for the five women who meet there that night, determined to have a great time. The only male character, Skúli, wanders in now and then looking for his girlfriend, who has a habit of passing out drunk in women’s toilets. The play touches on popular themes such as beauty, fashion, love, jealousy and death. María played the fashionista Maggý, who gets caught up in the toilet drama.
Reviews
„The highlight of the whole Easter weekend’s television was the play Konur skelfa … All the actors were very good. If anyone stood out it was María Ellingsen, who at times looked as if she were about to tear the menfolk to pieces … María was on brilliant form and gave a star performance. The audience in fact witnessed the birth of a star.“
„María Ellingsen shows a new side of herself as the fashionista Maggý. She is clearly a born comedienne.“
