The three dysfunctional Eurotrashers reunite to prepare a wonderfully messy wedding in Helsinki, Helsingør and Riga in 2021 – 2022

Performed in churches and convents

Open borders are closing, liberal lifestyles are out of fashion and the 50-somethings are getting married. We welcome the audience to take part in an unusual wedding in three Baltic countries when the flamboyant Leo, structure seeking Viesturs and age denying Angela reunite. Leo is about to marry Jack and the plans are going off the rail.

This is tongue in cheek portrayal of a generation on the brink of disaster that insists on preserving normality at all costs.
