Karlsson on the roof
October 16, 2004, ~1 minute
I took Alexander to see the play of "Karlsson-on-the-roof" ("Karlsson på taket") by Astrid Lindgren with Markoolio starring as Karlsson.
What can I say.. the man was born to play this role! The role calls for something of a monkey-on-acid approach to acting, and Markoolio pulls it off. Children from ages three to nine were there with their parents, and I think most of them had their eyes nailed to the stage throughout the whole play.
Nice, wonderful, well worth the cash; and a good break from the input of digital media. Some links: About Astrid Lindgren (in English) About Astrid Lindgren (from Junibacken, in English)
