Kattona tähtitaivas
Note: No longer in repertoire!
A story about friendship and the difficulty of letting go of someone you love. Despite its serious subject, the play is bright and life-affirming.
The play is based on Johanna Thydell’s acclaimed novel of the same name, which has also been adapted into a film. Jenna is like any other teenager, worrying about who her best friend is, how she should look and why her crush never notices her. But one worry overshadows everything else: Jenna’s mother has cancer. Despite its serious subject, Kattona tähtitaivas is a bright, fresh and life-affirming play whose sincerity and authenticity resonate with audiences of all ages. The critically acclaimed I taket lyser stjärnorna (Kattona tähtitaivas) will now be staged in Finnish, premiering on 27.3. It is a story about friendship, secrets and the hardest thing of all.
