Overview

This 1981 folk comedy play from Lisebergsteatern in Gothenburg returns to Skolgatan in Haga, where Herbert still hasn’t managed to move out despite countless attempts. When Albert stumbles upon his son’s diary and begins reading the embarrassing entries aloud, tensions rise—only to grow worse when a tax inspector arrives. For thirty years Albert has failed to report Herbert’s mother’s death, and the family has continued to receive a spousal deduction. Now father and son must resort to desperate and comical tricks to avoid being found out.
