The play "Reading is Not Required" tells the true story of a friendship between a teenager and the famous writer Astrid Lindgren. This project touches the heart, emphasizing important stages of growing up and the acute need for understanding and support. The play "Reading is Not Required," presented at the creative cluster "L52" in Yekaterinburg, invites the audience to immerse themselves in a story based on real events. At the center of the plot is the correspondence between the renowned Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren and the teenager Sara Jungkrantz, who particularly struggles with the process of growing up. This is a candid story about the challenging transition age, filled with moments of self-discovery, the fight for recognition, and finding emotional support in the form of an understanding adult. The stage production, created by director Irina Lyadova, immerses the audience in the atmosphere of being 12 years old-a period when inner experiences become especially acute, and the desire to be heard sometimes turns into a real struggle. "Reading is Not Required" is not just a play, but an opportunity for the audience to see in themselves that very teenager who dreamed of a friend ready to understand and support them in difficult moments. Attending this play can become a true therapeutic experience that resonates in the soul for a long time. Details on the website. Where to go with a child in Yekaterinburg, find on our website.
