We planned our plays for the spring show. Our theme is "My Finland", good and bad sides, the picture tourists have about Finland and how things are in reality. We got "Nightmare Finland", and in our play we depicted different people visiting the social service office looking for government aid. The ones who did not really deserve any help got it, of course, and the ones who really needed help did not get it. Our play had a drunk person who lied that he had been lookign for a job, thus he has tried to get out of his "situation" and got money. The second person visiting the office was a city mayor who needed aid for new plumbing for his summer villa. He of course received aid, and can get new aids every month because it is written in legislation that certain types of plumbing have to be renewed by a given date. The third person was a dad whose wife has just died and has two small children did not get money because he was not found needy enough. The other group had "Perfect Finland" where everything was of course perfect. It was alot of fun watching their play but planning our play was a little chaotic.
