Suzanne Osten's and Per Lysander's play about Jason and Medea's divorce – and the children who have to bear their sorrow – had its premiere at Klarateatern on Stockholm City Theatre in 1975. The groundbreaking performance is considered to have changed the view on children's culture in Sweden.

When it is put up on Kulturhuset Stadsteatern's stage in Skärholmen in southern Stockholm, with the premiere on September 27, Sandra Medina and Per Öhagen play leading roles.

On Kulturhuset Stadsteatern's stage in Husby, "The Boxing Club", a new written performance by Loran Batti and Kristian Hallberg, will be played in the autumn. On Vällingby's stage, "The Tunnel" by Alejandro Leiva Wenger will be performed, while Marionetteatern puts up "The Green Boot's Theatre" by Eric Ericson.
