Estonian national theatre was born in Tartu, on Midsummer's Day in 1870, with the production of The Cousin from Saaremaa by Lydia Koidula (1843|1886). And also before the 20th century, the first Moliere (1886) and the first Shakespeare (1888) had been staged.

The story is inspired by Shakespeare, and it is about love between a young man and a roe deer. At first, it seems a bit unexpected and impermissible. Despite that, it is the story of immortal love which, defying destiny, joins also in death | this time in a jellied meat pott.
