There’s a knock on the door…
The performance based on Sven Nordqvist’s wonderful Christmas story of the same title. In our staging, we invite you to the day before the day in Pettson’s kitchen. Everything should be as it always is… but it isn’t. Findus is equal parts frustrated, angry and sad that Christmas seems to be missing…
Not even a Christmas tree? What sort of Christmas is left without a tree! This is the worst day before Christmas ever. It’s worse than a boring old Tuesday.
Findus
It is a somber outlook indeed as Pettson has hurt his foot and “can’t do all the things that needs doing before Christmas”. But all of a sudden there’s a knock on the door! And that rarely happens at the house of odd old man Pettson.
Showcasing the expectant days before Christmas is so important when far from everyone has it as “nice as it always is” that Findus wants.
Recurring Christmas tradition
We can already promise that this play will become a Christmas tradition! It will have a place in our Christmas repertoire for the coming years 2025-2026.
Information about the performance
This audience success is suitable for the whole family and is performed in Swedish in Teaterladan on Junibacken until January 10, 2025. The performance contains theater smoke.
Is there anything new to tell about Christmas, or has everything already been said in red ribbons and fir needles with wrapped figs, and now it's Christmas again? We believe that in the eve-before dialogue between a cat and an old man, there is something worth staging. They want things, they need each other. They fail and succeed, and learn something about Christmas and maybe about love. We need each other, and we are needed.
