Crime Comedy “Stockmann Yard – Department Store Villains” / Vana Baskini Teater

Crime comedy “Stockmann Yard” – Department Store Villains. Wealthy customers, picture-perfect salespeople and audacious thieves – welcome behind the scenes at Stockmann! Life in the legendary department store grows crazier by the day. Goods mysteriously disappear, and a gang of crooks feels at home among the shelves. The department store’s security department, Stockmann Yard, is powerless, because the clues lead where no one dares to look. Could one of the employees actually be in league with the criminals? Adding fuel to the chaos is an angry inspector arriving from Finland, determined to restore order. A cat-and-mouse game begins, in which love and greed, naivety and cunning collide. Who will be caught? Who loves whom? And who will leave the department store in handcuffs? Based on a Finnish bestseller, this production is both criminal and hilarious. It is a comedy that pokes fun at human weaknesses and, at the same time, offers a crash course in the hidden world of shoplifting, making you look around a department store with entirely new eyes next time.
