“Night Queen” is a gripping story about the meeting of two very different people. Elli, who once sang successfully as a singer at a famous opera house, has to make a life for herself in Estonia after a tragic chain of events, and every day witnesses her inevitable decline. The exciting sequence of events begins when a young and attractive social worker, Jakob, appears on Elli’s doorstep. A mysterious role awaits the man known as Meemees. Who is he? What is he up to, and what part does he have to play at Elli’s home? The answers may be surprising.

Piret Jaaks’ play speaks, both humorously and tragically, through the story of two very different lives, about the clash of feelings, thoughts and views, about being pushed away and the fear of being “past its best”. It also speaks of what remains of us from the moment we are no longer here.
