Overview

Miss Fleggman's Mustache is not so much a revue as a musical comedy depicting 60 years of Swedish social history, with music by Gunnar Svensson and directed by the four actors in the original cast under the name Tage-Lena EkFredson. At the premiere on January 14, 1982, at Göta Lejon, some of AB Svenska Ord's leading comedians, Hasse Alfredson, Tage Danielsson, Lena Nyman, and Gösta Ekman, took on the play's many different roles, which reflect the four temperaments: the tired Frida Fleggman, the angry Kurt S Wresig, the cheerful Count Niklas von Sanguin, and the melancholic Alvar Dysterkvist. New characters quickly enter the scene, including Kolerik Wresig, who pretends to be Kurt Wresig's son, and Dysterkvist's voluptuous Norwegian daughter Hedvig, played by Tage in an unlikely guise.
