Salthe

Salthe is for players who enjoy stories with bitter irony and a theatrical mood. Everything here rests on an odd mix of mockery and pain, and each scene feels like it is balancing on a blade. If you like unusual presentation, this one is worth your time. What hooks you: - The heroine relives her own past, and as you go you slowly piece together what really happened to her. - The Clown never takes off his mask, which gives the dialogue a double bottom: it is not always clear whose side he is on. - Mari and her orphanage add warm and sad moments against the dark plot. - The atmosphere of a play with no audience, yet every role is written down to the last line.
