In 2006, The Finn-Brit Players Theatrical Society celebrates 25 years (and more) of theatrical endeavour in English in Finland. To mark this milestone, the society has produced this collection of original work to showcase some of the creative zest that has become characteristic of its performances. The material here may be drawn from a festival of short plays or from an evening of poetry and jazz in a Helsinki café. It may depict life and death in a World War I trench or explore the stresses and strains of family relationships. The binding element is that the drama, prose, and poetry in this volume has all been written and performed by members of the society.

The book costs a nominal €9, and is available at all our major events and productions as long as stocks last, or can be obtained by request from Zoë, email her at zoe [at] finnbritplayers.com.
