Vitleysingarnir (The Fools) is a black comedy about modern society, its speed and alienation. The minister, the editor, the stockbroker and the writer are among the play’s ‘well-known’ characters – all middle-aged and racing up the career ladder. But not everything is as it seems: beneath the smooth surface, loneliness simmers. María played Áslaug, the Minister for the Environment, who is married to the chief physician Jónas.
Reviews
„A hilarious play about unscrupulous characters who get their way at the expense of the rest of us … María Ellingsen gives the career woman Áslaug life and feeling, almost in contradiction to the cold-blooded personality that emerges from the text.“
