* ABOUT FELT IF
Since its conception in 2003, the Festival has aimed to encourage new directors and performers, and to promote cooperation between existing groups. This year's festival brings together three companies from the vibrant English-language theatre scene in Helsinki: The Finn-Brit Players, Thespians Anonymous Theatrical Society and Blood, Love & Rhetoric.

They will be staging a total of nine short plays by classic and contemporary authors from around the world, including three plays written by local writers and staged for the first time ever! This year’s programme contains a hearty serving of comedy, but there are also a few slices of drama on offer.

The Festival provides a rare treat for theatre lovers and a flexible opportunity for new audience members to dip their toes into the theatrical water. Some devotees like to buy a weekend day pass and watch all of the plays back-to-back! If that seems too daunting, there are plenty of other options. Plays have been assigned to two separate groups accessible with weeknight and weekend passes, and enable you to watch as many plays as you wish. There are also tickets for single plays.
