SERVING-MEN and MAIDENS at SOLHOUG.
The action passes at Solhoug in the Fourteenth Century.
PRONUNCIATION OF NAMES: Gudmund=Goodmund. The g in "Margit"
and in "Gesling" is hard, as in "go," or in "Gesling," it may
be pronounced as y--"Yesling." The first o in Solhoug ought
to have the sound of a very long "oo."
Transcriber's notes:
--Signe and Hegge have umlauts above the e's, the
ultimate e only in Hegge.
--Passages that are in lyric form are not indented
and have the directorial comments to the right of
the character's name.
THE FEAST AT SOLHOUG
PLAY IN THREE ACTS
ACT FIRST
A stately room, with doors in the back and to both sides. In front
on the right, a bay window with small round panes, set in lead,
and near the window a table, on which is a quantity of feminine
ornaments. Along the left wall, a longer table with silver
goblets and drinking-horns. The door in the back leads out
to a passage-way,* through which can be seen a spacious
fiord-landscape.
BENGT GAUTESON, MARGIT, KNUT GESLING and ERIK OF HEGGE are seated
around the table on the left.
