Rasputin - Toddyspex

The Toddyspexarna have been a natural part of Lund's student life since 1895 and are today one of Sweden's longest-running spex. With our unique mix of music, satire and student-like antics, we have entertained audiences for over 130 years both at home in Lund and on tour. After this spring's success with sold-out performances in Lund, we are now proudly bringing Rasputin to Ystad!

We are in Russia at the turn of the century 1900. In the corridors of power in St. Petersburg, the enigmatic Grigorij Rasputin arouses both fascination and horror. Is he a miracle worker sent by God, or a polished fraudster who seeks influence over the Tsarist family with cunning and fox tricks? In a court full of intrigue, strong personalities and hidden agendas, the question of who really rules the empire becomes more burning than ever.

Performance length: approx. 2 hours incl. intermission
