Kertomuksia Keittiöstä, 2011

Kertomuksia keittiöstä (The Tales from the Kitchen) – was a play built around the songs by Maija Kaunismaa, who also performed this play by herself. The lyrics were written by Finnish author Sofi Oksanen. The play was produced by Finnish National Theatre and it ran from August 2011 to May 2012.
