Medieval legal history - why hasn't anyone made a musical about this already? This brooding has plagued the Andersson sisters, AKA Två Otrevliga Flickor for years and now Sweden's Medieval Landscape Laws – The Musical is finally out on the road.

A man falls from a mast, onto another man and both die. A couple wants to get married, but they have incredibly ugly candles with them. A woman sits on a swing gate and sounds like a cuckoo. But whose fault is it, and how wrong is it that it happened? It is eternal moral questions like this that are now finally being properly addressed. Theologians, sociologists, anarchists, yes the whole cavalry is called in to take a long hard look at the legal system and whether it is good or silly or both.

Of course, the Anderssons will take on the medieval legal history in folk-musical form, because that is the only right thing. With them in this performance they also have the eminent and law-abiding Lovisa Lindgren on accordion.

The performance is given in the castle's main hall and is 1.5 hours long plus an intermission. Tickets are pre-booked online. Price: SEK 180. The arrangement is carried out in collaboration with Studieförbundet Bilda.
