Four-Temperament Ensemble/Theatre

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Four-Temperament Ensemble in Theatre include:

  • The final Hasse Och Tage revue Fröken Fleggmans mustasch is constructed around this trope, to the extent that the characters of the four person ensemble (if one excludes the pianist) are named accordingly. The quartet consists of:
    • Count Niklas von Sanguin (played by Hans Alfredson).
    • The banker Kurt S.[1] Wresig, alternatingly his impostor son Kolerik Wresig (both played by Gösta Ekman).
    • The maid Frida Fleggman (played by Lena Nyman).
    • The Mysterious Stranger Alvar F.[2] Dysterkvist (played by Tage Danielsson).
