Doctors don’t know anything!

City Theatre’s actor Argo Aadli has chosen a play about a hypochondriac lady for his director’s debut. The colonel’s widow is preparing for a big feast and is pouring her heart out to everyone who bothers to listen. And frankly, also to anyone who doesn’t. Her heart is mostly full of anger toward doctors who don’t seem to take her woes seriously enough. But there is also space for longing after her dear colonel. The author has described the widow as a social problem, though not a sensational or a never before seen one, but something, that has always existed in society. Despite the play being over fifty years old, the criticized phenomenons of stupidity, petty bourgeois arrogance, and lack of self-critique haven’t aged one bit. Therefore it’s worth taking an honest look into the satirical mirror and asking yourself: how many of the qualities that make us laugh at the widow actually exist within ourselves as well?
