Cult children’s series Tårtan gets stage adaptation in Stockholm

On October 30, the performance will premiere at Soppteatern at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, starring Leif Andrée and Katrin Sundberg. Directed by Per Andersson.

"When 'Tårtan' was new in 1973, it was considered inappropriate, even dangerous. The 'dangerous' part was kindness and empathy. And a certain sharpness. Now 'Tårtan' is needed more than ever," says Carl Johan De Geer in a press release.

De Geer and Håkan Alexandersson created "Tårtan", which was broadcast on then-TV2 in 14 episodes in 1973.
